Hall of Fame

This guy should get into the Hall of Fame

It should be added somewhere that he is arguably the biggest Cubs fan in the World. Just listening to this guy call the games is proof enough. --Chitomcgee 20:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HOF

Hands Down, #10 Ron Santo belongs in the hall of fame. He played the game the right way. I'd be happy to walk my children through the exhibits in Canton and tell them about Ron Santo. User:192.122.250.250 01:09, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Or maybe Cooperstown. d:) Wahkeenah 01:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He might belong in Canton, not sure what he did for football, but he definetly DOES NOT belong in Cooperstown. .277 AVG is nowhere near Hall-Worthy, unless you smack 500-HRs. Lets compare his #'s to someone still playing: Derek Jeter.

Santo

G AB H 2B 3B HR R RBI SB AVG

2,243 8,143 2,254 365 67 342 1,138 1,331 35 .277

Jeter

G AB H 2B 3B HR R RBI SB AVG

1,679 6,790 2,150 347 50 183 1,277 860 249 .317

For someone with under 500 HR's you need JETER numbers to get in the hall!!! Other than HR's Jeter will have passed Santo in every stat by the time he reaches 15 years. Also, these are Jeter's Post-season stats, sorry Ron another thing keeping him from the Hall is the fact that if he make's it his team would have multiple HOF'rs, but 0 Postseason appearances.

Jeter Postseason:

G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI AVG SB

119 478 85 150 22 3 17 48 .314 16

No Hall for Santo, character CAN keep you outta the Hall, but it should NEVER get you in. You must have the #'s and he falls short in HR,HITS,SB, and AVG......... He may get in as an announcer though. (Best in the buisiness)

"Club" stats

As someone who thinks Santo obviously belongs in the HOF, I've removed the silly comparison to Mike Schmidt: yes, they're the only two to have 300 HR and 5 Gold Gloves, but Schmidt's having a batting average 10 points below Santo's "in an era noted for weaker pitching" smells of non-NPOV, given Schmidt's other 5 Gold Gloves, his 200+ homers beyond Santo's, and his never having called the Friendly Confines his home park. (No need to mention Schmidt's 3 MVPs, so I won't. Well, not a lot.) Santo was far too good a player to require bogus comparisons like the "300-homers-and-5-third-base-gold-gloves-club" stuff. He was the real deal, and doesn't need anybody ragging on Mike Schmidt for him. RogerLustig 03:29, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If Chick Hafey belongs in the Hall, Ronnie certainly does. You're right that comparing Schmidt with Santo is silly. It's like comparing Ty Cobb with... well, Chick Hafey. Wahkeenah 03:52, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
