The fact that I want to convey that IN HIS TIME, he was probably the best 3rd baseman playing...I don't all that played in that time, and would listen to people trying to argue others that played in his 'era' but those stats deserve the HOF. ALL THE WHILE playing with diabetes that he never leaked out.
The reason he isn't in is because he has pissed off some old timers with remarks that I have never even heard, and probably becuase all those old timers have no more fans, and Santo has even GROWN BIGGER in the radio market.....Him and Pat Hughes are absolutely outstanding, not a better radio team as far as enjoyment and play by play (Hughes). Hughes alone should get some sort of award for always having to keep Santo from going on a tangent (ala Harry Carry)
