Ron
Santo of the Chicago Cubs has been voted in to the Hall of Fame. The
third baseman was elected to the Hall, overwhelmingly chosen by the
Veterans Committee nearly a year to the day after he died hoping for
this very honor. Santo was a nine-time All-Star, hit 342 home runs and
won five Gold Gloves. He was a Cubs broadcaster for 20 years, beloved by
the home crowd for the way he cheered for his favorite team on the air,
hollering “Yes! Yes!” or “All right!” after a good play and groaning
“Oh, no!” or “It’s bad” when things went wrong.
