I think that Ron Santo is the greatest overall third baseman of all time. Every year that I don’t here his name it just makes me madder and madder.Those are my stances on the Ron Santo/Hall of Fame situation.

I come from a family of Cub fans, I grew up with the Hawk, Ryno, Sut, Wild Thing, & Zim. I did, however, hear all the old stories about Cubs past & Ronnie was one of my favorites. Now traveling between eastern Iowa and mid Missouri, Ron & Pat are what gets me through long trips. The vets committee needs to get him in before the broadcasters do, although both are a great honor, I feel the former would mean a great deal more to him. I suppose I could mention his career numbers, but they, like everything else Ron has accomplished throughout his life, speak for themselves.

I grew up not far from Wrigley Field. As a pre-teen and teenager, my summers were spent mostly at Wrigley Field. At this time, in the 60’s, a fan was able to walk directly up to the players in the parking lot after the garm. I was blessed to have had my picture taken with Ron. He was an exciting player because he loved and still loves the game. To have endured the health problems he has, and still be so enthusiastic about your work, I am proud to be living in the same universe as Ron. I moved to San Antonio 10 years ago, but I get back to Chitown every year and spend lots of money to be able to attend a Cubbies game, and also to listen to Ron on the radio.
We should all be able to enjoy our “JOB” as much as he does. Vote Ron IN!!!!!

I feel that Ron Santo deserves to be in the hall of fame. The stats he put up in his career are on a par with the best of the other third basemen that are already in the hall. This in it self is a major accomplishment because he played his entire career while he suffered from type I diabetes. Something he kept secret for fear that baseball would not allow him to play if it was revealed. as a diabatic myself Ron has always been a possitive inspiration to me.

Ron Santo absolutely deserves to be in the hall of fame. The stats speak for themselves and not to mention the fact that he played with diabetes. I just think of what he could of done had he been in perfect health. He could have let on that he had diabetes but given his personality and desire to be the best I believe that he wouldn’t have wanted anyone to treat him any different. He is already a hall of famer as far as I’m concerned but give him what he has earned and put him in the hall with all the Cub legends.

Ron Santo not only put up impressive numbers, but did ir as a diabetic too. Whoever doesn’t vote for him is nuts.
