Heard the sad news of Ron Santo's passing yesterday on the news. Very sad for Ron's family and the whole Cub Nation....actually, now that I think about it....sad for baseball fans everywhere. I am not a Cubs fan by any means. In fact, I would listen to Ron and Pat Hughes on the radio from our home here in West Lafayette, IN just to hear Ron's comments and anticdotes while I was rooting for the Cubbies to go down big. Ron was a great inspiration to those with diabetes and I know he has raised countless thousands of dollars for his cause. I do feel like a legend has passed. Wish he would've gotten into The Hall while he was with us.
RIP Ron. You will be missed by this White Sox fan.
