It's positively kerbaffling.

Seriously. What on earth does it take to get Ron Santo, one of the premier third basemen of his era, into the freaking Hall of Fame?

It's just... mindboggling.

Fragging Veterans Committee.

Ron! Oh my, when I was maybe 6 or 7, the Cubs were playing the Pirates and we had a friend who played for the Cubs and he always got us tickets and took us down by the field and all...and this game, during batting practice, a pop fly hit the seat right next to me, and scared the shit out of me. I was crying and all, and Ron came running over to make sure I was ok. And wow, that was more than 30 years ago, and I still remember him smiling at me....
