Santo was a great hitter. He's a HOFer even if he was a Cub.

Quit crying Santo....... you suck......live with it
let's see...brooks robinson, in the hall of fame, only hit over .300 twice....only had 100 rbi's twice, never scored 100 runs and struck out more than he walked...guess they should kick him out by your reasoning.
btw, i know about brooks' all-star appearances and gg's...just making a point.
You're missing the foundation for his point. The first sentence.
yea, i'm still trying to get over the fact that his first sentence is such a strong argument.
Well it's true. He was a Cub. Can't really argue that one.
Personally I don't think his defense was so overwhelming to compensate for his average offensive skills but the thing that bothers me the most is his constant crying for induction.
Plus as I said he was a Cub
you talking about robinson or santo in the first part? and, i don't think santo, himself, is the one doing the crying...it's the millions of cubs fans that do it for him....also, the being a cubs player thing shouldn't matter.

Honestly the campaigning is annoying, but on the other hand his story really is a sad one. You can tell he literally lives and dies with his team. The cynic in me is annoyed by stuff like his docmentary and the lobbying, but the comapassion in me really hopes he gets in because it would mean so much to him as well as millions of fans who really could use a break when it comes to baseball.
