Billy Williams and Ernie Banks need to get off their asses and start touting him becuase the other old ****s aren't gonna let him in when he is alive. I GUARANTEE you the second that he passes away, he will get in based on that fact alone. Why do people always wait to do something good until it is too late?

Scavs you gotta love a guy who has Santo's consistency. But he does not fit with this group:
Frank Baker, George Brett, Jimmy Collins, George Kell, Pie Traynor, Brooks Robinson, Eddie Matthews, Freddie Linstrom, Wade Boggs..
And he would probably be the first to say so. Only Brooks has batting stats that are more in line with Santo, and my God no one in their right mind is going to say Santo fielded like Brooks Robinson.
