I dont think he was as good as Sanberg, but the big Red Machine championships do the talking.

Santo has some of the best numbers that any 3rd baseman ever put up.

"A career .277 hitter, he won five Gold Gloves, and was a nine-time All-Star."

Lou Pinella "Santo was a dominant player at his position for a long, long time," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "An All-Star, Gold Glove winner, and a great ambassador in baseball. It's a shame he fell short."

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?
