His career numbers just simply aren't Hall of Fame type stats. .274 career Batting Average and a .450 career slugging percentage. Not even close. They sympathy (diabetes) thing should not factor in at all yet Santo fans continue to bring that up (if that was a criterion, put the one armed pitcher Jim Abbott at the top of the list). The Veterans Committe was dead on. Santo is not a Hall of Famer. Not by a long shot. And he never will be. Santo doesn’t deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.
