R.I.P. #10

Goodbye to the only man who may have been more frustrated by watching the 2009-2010 Cubs than I was. Bill James has written that if he were in charge of the Hall of Fame selections, Ron Santo would be the first player he'd put in, yet neither the baseball writers nor the Veterans Committee believed that a third baseman with nine All-Star game appearances, five Gold Gloves, and a career OPS+ of 125 was worthy of induction into the Hall of Fame.  It would have been nice for them to put him into the Hall while was still alive to enjoy it, because he really did deserve it.
