It's unfortunate he never made the Hall.

Damn, that's horrible news.

 

[PatrickAdamovicz]

Very sad news. I loved listening to him on the radio. He was a fan calling the game for his favorite team!

 

[woodyk1]

Dang. This is very sad.

R.I.P. #10. You were a great ambassador for the Cubs and the game of baseball. You will be missed by this Cubs fan.

 

[WDMBleacherHawk]

This sucks, he is one of my favorite announcers. Even though he may not have made a whole lot of sense or was very composed he had a talent to make you love him. Shoulda been in the HOF

 

[Blackhawk33]

Loved Santo. He'll most likely get in the HOF posthumous now, though, he said often he didn't want to get in that way, and should have gotten in when he was alive.
Watch the Cubs win the World Series this year now. That'd be just like them.

RIP Ronnie. Your joy and enthusiasm made my journey as a Cubs fan worthwhile.

seems like just yesterday it was 1969 and you were clicking your heels running into the clubhouse.

 

[SPGroth]

Loved listening to Santo on the radio. He was a true fan behind the microphone. He is going to be missed. RIP Ronnie!!

RIP Ron. You will be missed by all Cubs. You deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. Very sad day.

 

[Bluzmn]

RIP Ronnie. Baseball will be poorer for your absence.

 

[clicheusername3]

Thanks for not giving this great man and all baseball fans a great day before he expired Hall of Fame voters.

 

[burky247]

Man I'm gonna miss that guy.

 

[NEIChawk]

Great Cub player and great fan of the game....We will miss you..

 

[silvanthalas]

God dammit.

 

[Hawkfromnorwalk]

Horrible, just horrible news. Listening to games on the radio will not be the same. It's too bad we couldn't have gotten a title for him in 07 or 08. RIP Ronnie.
