Durbin jumps to help Santo’s hall bid at Santo for Hall

Durbin jumps to help Santo’s hall bid

Published by Scott Lewis October 22nd, 2006 in News.

Even Illinois Senator Dick Durbin agrees that Ron Santo belongs in the MLB Hall of Fame. He recently tooks steps to see this happen. While I don't always agree with Mr. Durbin's politics, I think this is something Mr. Durbin and I could work together on.

Kudos to you Senator Durbin for helping MLB to do the right thing!

In a letter to the Hall's Veterans Committee, Durbin says Santo was great -- and probably would have been better if he hadn't played for the Cubs.

"We can't know how much better Ron Santo's statistics might have been had he not played his entire career with a life-threatening illness, in an era that suppressed the long ball, for a team that, God bless them, never once saw post-season action," wrote Durbin.

What words of wisdom. I too feel that if Ron had been on a different team, he would have been in the hall already. I wish the politics in sports and life would take an R and R.

Ron Santo has done so much for baseball and many of hundreds of thousands of fans. Name me one person who is classy and filled with spirit and life as Ron is?
