http://www.santoforhall.com A tribute to and petition for Ron Santo to be inducted in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame Fri, 13 Jan 2012 17:23:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.santoforhall.com/mlb-hof-induction-rules/comment-page-1/#comment-202645 Rob Fransen Sun, 19 Dec 2010 04:30:39 +0000 http://www.santoforhall.com/mlb-hof-induction-rules/#comment-202645 something to think about, ronny played 8 seasons fewer than the "almighty" brooks robinson, yet santo hit 74 more HRs drew 200 more BB and was only about 100 runs short of brooks. Imagine if he had played 8 more seasons....and lets say that he maintains his career average in 5 of those seasons....here is what it would look like. Over 450 HR, 1478 BB, 1518 runs, 485 doubles, 87 triples and 1,776 RBIs, all better than brooks. Santo also hit an extra base hit every 10.52 ABs while robinson did it only every 13.02. And don't forget Santo did it as a diabetic during an era when very little was known on how to properly live with this ailment......even with diabetes he was still better offensively. What a joke the BBWAA is. I encourage you to look at the following link that shows all HOF 3rd basemen....compare santo's actual stats and the projected with what you see and you will be even more enraged. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/hof/hofst3b.shtml .......Go Cubs something to think about, ronny played 8 seasons fewer than the “almighty” brooks robinson, yet santo hit 74 more HRs drew 200 more BB and was only about 100 runs short of brooks.

His dedication to baseball is unlike any player I can compare too. His legacy deserves HOF Induction. Dont let him die with a broken heart, like he did something wrong. Give happiness to his family and the baseball community! He deserves it. His career in baseball goes beyond stats. He was a man dedicated to the sport. He was a man left with regret and saddness. Give the baseball community what they want. Like Barry Larkin and Jeff Bagwell can compare to what Santo has done for this sport??? Cmon LET HIM IN!!!!

Those people who have not voted for Ron Santo in past years need to explain themselves to all of us who have rational thought. Ron Santo R.I.P.
