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.

Of this group, other than Robinson, NONE OF THEM could carry Santo's glove. He hit for power, was consistent day in and day out, and has been a great ambassador for baseball and a national spokesperson and poster boy for diabetes for years. As usual, baseball steps on its dick and makes yet another bad P.R. move by keeping Santo out of the Hall. Those HOF frauds that vote should have their selections made public.
