DALLAS -- Legendary Cubs third baseman and broadcaster Ron Santo was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by a 16-member Golden Era Committee, which revealed the results of its balloting on Monday at the Winter Meetings.
Santo becomes the fourth member of the Cubs teams from the 1960s and '70s to enter the Hall, joining teammates Billy Williams, Ernie Banks and Ferguson Jenkins. Williams was a member of the committee that elected Santo.
Santo will be inducted during next year's ceremony on July 22.Full story can be read at Ron Santo elected to Hall of Fame
Well, good for him. From the way players talk about the Hall of Fame, I gather it's the most important distinction in their lives. Santo is before my (baseball) time but I congratulate him anyway. It must feel great. (And I predict the Cubs will have a great season in 2012. Betcha.)
