You don’t have to convince most Chicago Cubs fans that Ron Santo is a baseball legend. For years, fans were campaigning for him to gain election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The former star third baseman didn’t do much to hide the fact that it would have meant a lot to him during his retirement days. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to see it happen, as he passed away in 2010 before it finally happened in 2012.
During that time, Cubs fans cited what he meant to the team throughout the 1960s and into the early 1970s.
