You are looking at it the wrong way. Look at the numbers that Sandburg put up with the people he was surrounded with. Look at Morgan and who was surrounding by and you will have your answer. Morgan is probably one of the biggest jerkoff's in baseball. He 'hated' Ryne Sandberg, hated him, even to go as far as not acknowledging his HOF nomination on ESPN because he wanted to still bask in some glory. I am not sure if there is a TON of 2nd Basemens or what, but it was BS. You put Sandburg on that team that Morgan was on, and he is possibly one of the best players of ALL TIME. Ryno was the COMPLETE package, he was serious in the field and had a high batting average, then threw in HR's and RBI's, changed and advanced the postiton 30 fold...

Brooks played 8 more seasons then Santo and had the same numbers? If that is the case I might go on a hunger strike in two years, protest the HOF in Cooperstown
