Ron Santo



I got this Ron Santo photo signed following a Cubs game at Wrigley Field.

Santo was the color commentator for the radio broadcasts and after the game I asked an usher which ramp Santo would use when he left the booth. He pointed it out and I sat and waited.

Finally Ron came out carrying a heavy briefcase. Understand that he also has some difficulty walking due to health problems. I could sense that when Ron saw me he probably thought "great, another autograph seeker." Whether he did or not he politely signed my photo for me and quickly went on his way.

He was courteous and professional. All I could ever ask from a man who has spent the past twenty years or so getting cheated by the Hall of Fame.
