Ron was the best Chicago Cub thir baseman
The numbers he put up on some bad teams while battling diabetes merit his election to the Hall.
Come on already. When he played, the only better defensive 3rd baseman was Robinson.
Their is no way why Ron is not in the Hall of Fame. He has done a lot for baseball and kids too, so let get him in ok ”’.
This is ridiculous. A player of such caliber should have been in the Hall of Fame years ago.
With the years he has played with all his gold gloves and his stats This is a no brainer What is wrong with the members of the hall of fame?
He’s way past due!
One of many, but just about the leading omission in any sport.
Please dont wait until he passes to induct him
Ron Santo’s has a better record then most of the 3rd basemen in the hall of fame! He belongs there!
I’ve been a Santo fan since 1968… I’ve created a video that combines my love of the game with my desire to see Ronnie in the Hall of Fame… hope you like it.

I just want to say that Ron Santo deserves to be in the hall of fame! He is truly an inspiration to many. I hope whoever is in charge of the veterans commitee will realize this and do the right thing!
Get him in already!
Ron Santo absolutely deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
No less an authority than Brooks Robinson has said so, publicly.
Robinson — the ’60s best AL 3B while Santo was the best NL 3B — was a first-ballot HoFer basically because he had the tendency to turn into Superman in the World Series, when all the writers were watching. Take away Robinson’s WS stats (and the fact that he of course played in it four times) and his longevity . . . and Santo is arguably a BETTER HoF candidate!
Note that Robinson hit 74 fewer regular-season homers despite having played eight MORE seasons.
Note also that Santo’s lifetime BA of .277 is ten points HIGHER than Robinson’s.
And yes, I think Santo’s medical issues are a truly legitimate consideration, not “just a sympathy thing.” He was the first, and for his entire career, the only, athlete to reach and sustain at the major-league level in ANY sport with Type 1 juvenile diabetes. What Santo accomplished is especially astonishing in retrospect, given the fact that he had to regulate his blood sugar levels with the primitive 1960s tools of Snickers bars and orange juice.
ron deserves to be in hall of fame, was one of the best third basemen. put him in the hall!!!!
ron deserves to be in the hall, he was one of the best third basemen ever to play the game. put him in the hall !!!!!
I heartily agree with all above that Ron Santo belongs in the HOF without a doubt.
it’s an insult to deny Ron Santo this Honor.
It’s an in sult to deny Ron Santo this Honor.
Ron Santo is so deserving of the honor to be in the Hall of Fame. His stats alone should get him there. He is truly one of the biggest baseball fans and he is always willing to talk to other fans and to sign autographs. We love listening to him and Pat on the WGN radio.
So, I just watched the Ron Santo documentary on MLB. I was reminded of just what a sensational ballplayer Ronnie was. He is absolutely deserving of being in the Hall of Fame. I am appalled that he has been repeatedly denied entry and wonder what the selection committee is thinking (or not thinking). Hello, with the stats he accumulated over his stellar career it is a crime for him to be passed over time and time again. My only consolation is his number flied with Ernie and Billie over the field they once dominated. Get your act together and get him into the hall so he can speak at the induction ceremony.
