He was 70.

See Mike & Mike talk about it on ESPN Chicago.

Tom asks the question “Is it right to put players from the steriods era in the Hall of Fame without putting people like Ron Santo in the Hall of Fame?”

Tom wants the MLB fans to join him in the asterisk party.

Please let Tom, the Hall of Fame and Major League Baseball know how you feel about this issue.

Jeff Santo’s amazing documentary about his father is heart wrenching.

“He’s not pretty, he’s not flashy, he’s substance.”
