I have been a Cub's fan since 5th grade and always admired the commentary of Ron Santo so I looked up his career stats.
All-star 1963-1966, 1968, 1969, 1971-1973
1973 Lou Gehrig Memorial Award
Gold Glove 1964-1968
Led NL in On-base % in 1964 with .398 and 1966 with .412
Led NL in triples in 1964 with 13
Career stats (3rd baseman)
AVG .277
RBI 1,331
HITS 2,254
HR 342
Phil Rizzuto (HALL OF FAMER)
AVG .273
HITS 1588
HR 38
RBI 562
All-Star (AL): 1942, 1950-1953
American League Most Valuable Player: 1950
Babe Ruth Award: 1951
1949-1953: Led the league in sacrifice hits
1950: Led A.L. shortstops in fielding (.982)
1950: Led the league in singles (150)
Look at Santo's stats then at Rizzuto's if Rizzuto made it then Santo should.
does anyone disagree???
