'''Ronald Edward Santo''' (February 25, 1940 – December 3, 2010) was an American [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) [[third baseman]] who played for the [[Chicago Cubs]] from 1960 through 1973 and the [[Chicago White Sox]] in 1974.<ref name="Ron Santo at Baseball Reference">{{cite web |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santoro01.shtml?redir |title=Ron Santo Career Statistics |website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref> In 1990, Santo became a member of the Cubs broadcasting team providing commentary for Cubs games on [[WGN (AM)|WGN radio]] and remained at that position until his death in 2010.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library"/> In 1999, he was selected to the Cubs All-Century Team. He was inducted into the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame]] in 2012.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame">{{cite web |title=Santo, Ron |publisher=[[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum]] |url=https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/santo-ron }}</ref>
Santo was an [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]] for nine seasons during his 15-year career. He led the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) in [[triple (baseball)|triples]] one time, in [[base on balls|walks]] four times, and in [[on-base percentage]] two times.<ref name="Ron Santo at Baseball Reference"/> He [[batting average (baseball)|batted]] .300 or more and hit 30 or more [[home run]]s four times each, and is the only third baseman in MLB history to post eight consecutive seasons with over 90 [[run batted in|runs batted in]] (RBI) (1963–70).<ref name="Ron Santo at Baseball Reference"/>
He also was a [[Gold Glove Award]] winner for five consecutive seasons.<ref>[https://www.rawlings.com/gold-glove.html Rawlings Gold Glove Award]</ref> He led the NL in [[total chances]] eight times, in games, [[putout]]s and [[assist (baseball)|assists]] seven times each, and in [[double play]]s six times. From {{mlby|1966}} to {{mlby|1974}}, he held the NL record for assists in a single season. He also set NL records for career assists (4,532), total chances (6,777) and double plays (389) at third base, all of which were eventually broken between {{mlby|1986}} and {{mlby|1988}} by [[Mike Schmidt]]. His NL total of 2,102 games at third base is 52 short of [[Eddie Mathews]]' league record, and he ranks sixth in putouts (1,930) and ninth in [[fielding percentage]] (.954).<ref>[https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/gold_glove_nl.shtml#multi National League Gold Glove Award winners at Baseball Reference]</ref>
Santo enjoyed his success despite battling [[Type 1 diabetes|diabetes]] since he was a teenager, a condition which was concealed from the public until 1971; it eventually necessitated the amputation of the lower half of both his legs.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library">[https://baseballbiography.com/ron-santo-1940 Ron Santo] - Baseballbiography.com</ref> Since 1979, Santo endorsed the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's annual Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes in Chicago. He helped raise over $65 million for the foundation. In 2002, he was named the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's "Person of the Year."<ref name="Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac"/>
==Early life==
Santo was raised in southeast [[Seattle]], attending [[Franklin High School (Seattle)|Franklin High School]], and played newly organized youth baseball in the [[Babe Ruth League]]. He grew up near [[Sicks Stadium]], home of the [[Pacific Coast League]]'s [[Seattle Rainiers]], and had summer jobs there as a batboy, groundskeeper and clubhouse attendant, while playing three sports in high school.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Jaffe|first1=Jay|title=The Cooperstown Casebook: Who's in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Who Should Be In, and Who Should Pack Their Plaques|date=July 30, 2017|url=https://www.si.com/mlb/2017/07/25/hall-fame-cooperstown-casebook-ron-santo|access-date=July 30, 2017|chapter=Ch. 4}}</ref> At age 14 he made the Seattle all-star team that advanced to the 1954 Babe Ruth World Series. In a game at Washington DC Stadium, Santo was inserted at first base, by Coach Dave Tacher, to replace a 15-year-old player who broke his thumb. In that game Santo hit a [[Grand slam (baseball)|grand slam]] over the 354 foot mark in left center field and the Washington All Stars defeated Tennessee.
==Major league career==
===Chicago Cubs (1960–1973)===
[[File:Ron Santo 1961.JPG|thumb|left|upright|Santo in 1961]]
Santo was signed as a [[free agent]] by the Chicago Cubs in [[1959 Chicago Cubs season|1959]], and made his debut on June 26, 1960.<ref name=br>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santoro01.shtml|title=Ron Santo Statistics and History|work=Baseball-Reference|access-date=December 3, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Ron Santo Trades and Transactions at Baseball Almanac">{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/trades.php?p=santoro01 |title=Ron Santo Trades and Transactions at Baseball Almanac|publisher=Baseball-almanac.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> In [[1961 Chicago Cubs season|1961]] he set a Cubs record with 41 [[double play]]s at third base, breaking the previous mark of 33 set by [[Bernie Friberg]] in 1923. In [[1962 Chicago Cubs season|1962]] he led the National League in [[assist (baseball)|assists]] for the first time with 332, setting the team record for assists at third base, breaking the mark of 323 set by [[Randy Jackson (baseball)|Randy Jackson]] in 1951. Santo continued to lead the NL in assists every year through 1968, breaking [[Ned Williamson]]'s major league record of leading the league six times; [[Brooks Robinson]] went on to lead the [[American League]] eight times. [[Mike Schmidt]] eventually tied Santo's NL mark of seven. In 1963 Santo broke the modern NL record with 374 assists at third base, passing [[Tommy Leach]]'s 1904 mark of 371. In 1966, he set the all-time league record with 391, the previous record being [[Billy Shindle]]'s 382 in 1892; his total was 99 higher than that of league runner-up [[Ken Boyer]]. Santo broke his own record in 1967 with 393 assists,<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page">{{cite web|url=http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/santoro01.php |title=Ron Santo at The Baseball Page |publisher=Thebaseballpage.com|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> which remained the NL record until Schmidt posted 404 in 1974. He also finished fourth in the [[1967 Chicago Cubs season|1967]] NL [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|Most Valuable Player Award]] voting results.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1967.shtml#NLmvp |title=1967 National League Most Valuable Player Award voting results at Baseball Almanac |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Santo's assist totals from 1963 through 1968 were the six highest by an NL third baseman between 1905 and 1973. He also led the NL in [[putout]]s every year from 1962 through 1967 and again in 1969, tying the league record shared by [[Pie Traynor]] and [[Willie Jones (third baseman)|Willie Jones]] in leading the league seven times;<ref name=autogenerated2>{{cite web|url=http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/news/2007/election/vc/santo.htm |title=Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame |date=June 30, 2007 |access-date=November 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630103614/http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/news/2007/election/vc/santo.htm |archive-date=June 30, 2007 }}</ref> [[Tim Wallach]] later tied the mark as well.
Santo was deeply saddened by the loss of teammate [[Ken Hubbs]], the Cubs second baseman, killed in a plane crash just prior to the 1964 season. Santo was interviewed by [[Tom Harmon]], narrator of the film ''A Glimpse of Greatness–The Story of Ken Hubbs'', in which Santo paid the highest respects to the young Hubbs.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}
In 1969, Santo and [[1969 Chicago Cubs season|the Cubs]] were in first place in the [[National League East]] for 180 days, before going 8–17 in their final 25 games, while the [[1969 New York Mets season|New York "Miracle" Mets]] went 37–11 in their final 48 games.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3SoDAAAAMBAJ&q=baseball+digest+ron+santo&pg=PA66|title=''Ron Santo: A Hall of Fame Plaque In His Future?'' by Bill Dray, Baseball Digest, July 1992, Vol. 51, No. 7, ISSN 0005-609X|access-date=November 13, 2011}}{{Dead link|date=November 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> During that season, the Cubs sent their entire starting [[infielder|infield]], including Santo, to the [[1969 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] in Washington, D.C.; he and Cubs shortstop [[Don Kessinger]] started for the NL team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ALS/ALS196907230.shtml |title=1969 All-Star game at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Santo finished the season with a .289 [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]], 29 [[home run]]s and a career-high 123 [[runs batted in]] (RBI), and finished fifth in the NL's MVP voting.<ref name=br/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1969.shtml#NLmvp |title=1969 Most Valuable Player Award voting results at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref>
====Heel click====
During the 1969 season, Santo became known for performing a heel click after a game on June 22, 1969, against the [[Montreal Expos]].<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/><ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=https://baseballbiography.com/ron-santo-1940 |title=Ron Santo |publisher=baseballbiography.com |date=June 26, 1960 |access-date=November 13, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Going into the bottom of the ninth inning, the Expos were leading 6–3. With one out, [[Paul Popovich]] hit a [[single (baseball)|single]] and moved up to second base after another single by [[Billy Williams (left fielder)|Billy Williams]]. Although Santo [[Baseball rules|grounded out]] for the second out, Popovich and Williams each moved up a base. Then future Hall of Famer [[Ernie Banks]] singled to bring home Williams and Popovich and bring the Cubs within a [[run (baseball)|run]]. [[Rick Bladt]] substituted as a [[pinch runner]] for Banks. That set it up for [[Jim Hickman (1960s outfielder)|Jim Hickman]], who hit a two-run [[walk-off home run]] to win the game 7–6.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN196906221.shtml |title=June 22, 1969 Expos-Cubs box score at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |date=June 22, 1969 |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> When Hickman reached [[home plate]], Santo was so excited that after congratulating him by bear hugging and pounding him on his head, Santo ran down the third base line and jumped three times, clicking his heels on each jump.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library"/><ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/>
[[File:Ron Santo 1973.jpg|alt=|thumb|upright|Santo in 1973]]
The next day, Santo walked into [[Manager (baseball)|manager]] [[Leo Durocher]]'s office; Durocher asked him to keep clicking his heels whenever the Cubs won at [[Wrigley Field]] to motivate the team. Santo continued this after every home win. The stunt antagonized opponents and served to make the team a target for payback in the final weeks of the season. When the Cubs began their September [[Losing streak (sport)|swoon]], which took place shortly after Santo called out rookie teammate [[Donald Young (baseball)|Don Young]] in public after a loss against the Mets in New York, he discontinued the heel click routine suddenly. His final "click" was performed on September 2, the last Cub home victory while still in first place. During and after the epic collapse, Santo never again performed the heel click, as critics decried the routine for its arrogance and overconfidence, which many believe was at the root of the late fade. {{Citation needed|date=December 2008}} On the day Santo was enshrined in the Hall of Fame, the Cubs' starting lineup all did the "kick" at the start of the game in tribute.
====Trade veto====
Santo became the first player to invoke the ten-and-five rule under the [[collective bargaining]] agreement that was signed to end the [[1972 Major League Baseball strike]]. The rule allowed players with ten years' service, the last five with the same team, to decline any trade.<ref name="santo2whitesox">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/12/12/archives/santo-stays-in-chicago-cubs-trade-him-to-white-sox.html |title=Santo Stays in Chicago, Cubs Trade Him to White Sox |agency=United Press International |date=December 11, 1973 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> The Cubs had agreed upon a deal to send Santo to the [[California Angels]]; the ballclub would have received in return two young pitchers: [[Andy Hassler]], who went on to have a middling career as a [[Relief pitcher|reliever]]/spot starter, and [[Bruce Heinbechner]], a very highly regarded left-handed pitching [[Prospect (sports)|prospect]], who died before the beginning of the 1974 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=heinbe001bru|title = Bruce Heinbechner Winter & Minor Leagues Statistics & History}}</ref> Santo's desire to stay in Chicago was his motivation to veto the deal on December 8, 1973.<ref name="santo2whitesox"/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/12/09/archives/marichal-sold-to-red-sox-angels-fail-to-woo-santo-again-cards.html |title=Angels Fail to Woo Santo Again |agency=Associated Press |date=December 8, 1973 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>
===Chicago White Sox (1974)===
He then asked Cubs management to try for a deal with the [[Chicago White Sox|crosstown White Sox]] which was made official on December 11, 1973, with the North Siders acquiring [[Steve Swisher]], [[Steve Stone (baseball)|Steve Stone]] and [[Ken Frailing]].<ref name="santo2whitesox"/> [[Jim Kremmel]] was also sent to the Cubs to complete the transaction one week later on December 18.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1973-12-19 |title=White Sox Finish Trade for Santo |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/12/19/archives/white-sox-finish-trade-for-santo.html |access-date=2023-08-16 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The White Sox already had a third baseman, [[Bill Melton]], so Santo was relegated mostly to [[designated hitter]] duty, which he hated. He wanted to play in the field, but White Sox manager [[Chuck Tanner]] would not bench Melton and unsuccessfully tried Santo at second base. Finishing [[1974 Chicago White Sox season|1974]] with a .221 batting average and 5 home runs, Santo retired from baseball at the age of 34.<ref name=br/>
==Post-retirement==
[[File:Ron Santo.JPG|alt=|thumb|upright|Santo at [[Wrigley Field]] in 2009]]
===Broadcast career===
As the "single biggest Cubs fan of all time," Santo joined the Cubs' broadcast booth in 1990 as the [[WGN (AM)|WGN radio]] [[color commentator]].<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library"/><ref name="Cubsb">{{cite web |url=http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/team/broadcasters.jsp?c_id=chc |title=Chicago Cubs Broadcasters |publisher=Chicago.cubs.mlb.com |access-date=November 13, 2011 |archive-date=September 2, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110902060747/http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/team/broadcasters.jsp?c_id=chc |url-status=dead }}</ref> He worked with [[Sports commentary|play-by-play announcer]] [[Pat Hughes (sportscaster)|Pat Hughes]], and these radio broadcasts were also known as the ''[[Pat and Ron Show]]''. He also worked with [[Harry Caray]], [[Thom Brennaman]], [[Steve Stone (baseball)|Steve Stone]] and [[Bob Brenly]]. Santo also briefly worked with [[Chicago Bears]] and [[Green Bay Packers]] commentator [[Wayne Larrivee]]. In addition to his broadcasting career, he did commercials for [[Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating]], which he endorsed, along with joining Hughes in ads for [[Walgreens]] and [[Chevrolet]]. In Chicago, Santo was known for his unabashed broadcast enthusiasm, including groans and cheers during the game. As excitable as Santo was when a great play for the Cubs occurred, he was equally as vocal in his displeasure when events turned against the Cubs.
===Struggle with diabetes===
In the early years of his playing career, he carefully concealed the fact that he had [[type 1 diabetes]]. He feared that if this information were to be known, he would be forced into retirement. Because the methods of regulating diabetes in the 1960s and 1970s were not as advanced as they are today,<ref name=SomewhereACub/> Santo gauged his [[blood sugar]] levels based on his moods.<ref name="thisoldcub">{{cite video |people = Santo, Jeff | title = ''This Old Cub'' | medium = DVD | publisher=Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408261/| date = 2004 }}</ref> If he felt his blood sugar was low, he would snack on a candy bar in the [[locker room|clubhouse]].<ref name="thisoldcub"/>
As part of the publicity surrounding "Ron Santo Day" at Wrigley Field on August 28, 1971, he revealed his struggle with diabetes. He was diagnosed with this disease at the age of 18, and was given a life expectancy of 25 years. Santo had both his legs amputated below the knee as a result of his diabetes: the right in 2001 and the left in 2002.
In 2004 Santo and his battle against diabetes were the subject of a documentary, ''[[This Old Cub]]''. The film was written, co-produced and directed by Santo's son Jeff.<ref name=SomewhereACub/>
Santo shared a bond in this respect with 2008 Cubs rookie [[Sam Fuld]], who also has type 1 diabetes.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=146449 |work=Daily Herald | title=Diabetes won't hold back Cubs' outfield prospect |access-date = June 25, 2008}}</ref>
===Charities===
The Santo family has been involved with the [[Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation]] since 1979, with the annual Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes in Chicago having raised over $65 million for the organization. In 2002, Santo was named the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's "Person of the Year."<ref name="Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac"/> Santo also inspired [[Bill Holden (schoolteacher)|Bill Holden]] to walk {{convert|2100|mi}} from [[Arizona]] to Chicago to raise $250,000 for diabetes research. During the [[2016 World Series]], the JDRF hosted watch parties for road games hosted by family members.

Santo was later cremated and his ashes scattered on the field at the Friendly Confines.
On August 10, 2011, Santo was memorialized and "immortalized" at Wrigley Field with the presentation of a statue in his likeness. The statue is a portrayal of a young Santo playing defense at third base, leaning to his right while throwing a ball.
==Hall of Fame candidacy==
===BBWAA===
When Santo first became eligible for election to the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Baseball Hall of Fame]] in {{bhofy|1980}}, he was named on less than four percent of all ballots cast by the [[Baseball Writers' Association of America]] (BBWAA), resulting in his removal from the ballot in subsequent years; he was one of several players re-added to the ballot in {{bhofy|1985}} following widespread complaints about overlooked candidates, with the remainder of their 15 years of eligibility restored even if this extended beyond the usual limit of 20 years after their last season. After receiving 13 percent of the vote in the 1985 election, his vote totals increased in 10 of the next 13 years until he received 43 percent of the vote in his final year on the {{bhofy|1998}} ballot, finishing third in the voting behind electee [[Don Sutton]] and 2000 inductee [[Tony Pérez]].

Following revamped voting procedures for the [[Veterans Committee]], which had elected players retired for over 20 years to the Hall of Fame, Santo finished third in {{bhofy|2003}}, tied for first in {{bhofy|2005}}, and again finished first in voting for the {{bhofy|2007}} and {{bhofy|2009}} inductions, but fell short of the required number of votes each year.
===Golden Era Committee===
Santo's next opportunity for admission to the Hall of Fame following a further major change to the voting structure and process announced in 2010, came during the voting in 2011 by the new 16-member Golden Era Committee which considers every three years, ten candidates identified by the Historical Overview Committee from the 1947 to 1972 era.<ref>National Baseball Hall of Fame, Eras: Golden, [http://www.baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden "Rules For election For Managers, Umpires, Executives, And Players For Golden Era Candidates To The National Baseball Hall Of Fame"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130430052048/http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden |date=April 30, 2013 }}</ref>
Although Santo became a widely supported candidate for selection, his initial poor showing in balloting has been attributed to various factors, including a longtime tendency of BBWAA voters to overlook third basemen; at the time Santo retired, only three of the over 120 players elected were third basemen, and only [[Pie Traynor]] had been elected by the BBWAA. Also, the fact that Santo's best years occurred in the pitching-dominated 1960s has been cited as a factor that led the voters to perhaps overlook him.<ref name="The Hall of Fame Case for Ron Santo">{{cite web |website=[[ESPN]] |title=Santo's Hall credentials hard to overlook |first=Rob |last=Neyer |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/columns/neyer_rob/1514118.html}}</ref> Another possible reason that was suggested was that voters had not focused sufficiently on Santo's high walk totals and defense. These aspects of play are perhaps more valued by [[sabermetrics]] — newer methods of evaluating a baseball player's productivity — than they have been by BBWAA voters in the past. For example, Santo's career [[On-base plus slugging#Adjusted OPS|adjusted on-base plus slugging]] (OPS+; the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage, adjusted for the park and league in which he played and expressed as a percentage of the league average) would rank him exactly in the middle of the ten major league third basemen who were in the Hall of Fame in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/onbase_plus_slugging_plus_career.shtml |title=Career Leaders & Records for Adjusted OPS|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref>
One argument that was raised against Santo's Hall of Fame candidacy is that his [[Baseball statistics|batting statistics]] over the course of his career were significantly better at home than on the road. He hit 216 of his 342 home runs at home, and only 126 on the road.<ref name="Ron Santo Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=santoro01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis|title=Ron Santo Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> His career batting average at home was .296, versus .257 on the road.<ref name="Ron Santo Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference"/> However, several players elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA, such as [[Carl Yastrzemski]], [[Wade Boggs]], [[Jim Rice]] and [[Kirby Puckett]], batted significantly better in their home parks than they did on the road.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=yastrca01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis|title=Carl Yastrzemski Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=boggswa01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis |title=Wade Boggs Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=riceji01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis |title=Jim Rice Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=puckeki01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis |title=Kirby Puckett Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Hall of Famers with a significant differential between their home numbers and road numbers in terms of home runs include [[Mel Ott]] (323 homers at home and 188 on the road), [[Frank Robinson]] (321 at home, 265 on the road), [[Jimmie Foxx]] (299 at home, 235 on the road) and [[Hank Greenberg]] (205 at home, 126 on the road).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=ottme01&t=b |title=Mel Ott home run log at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=robinfr02&t=b |title=Frank Robinson home run log at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=foxxji01&t=b |title=Jimmie Foxx home run log at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=greenha01&t=b |title=Hank Greenberg home run log at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Others have also commented that two Cubs
players who were in their prime during Santo's prime years have already been honored by the Hall of Fame ([[Ferguson Jenkins]] and Billy Williams), and the Cubs also featured a third Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks, who was arguably past his prime, yet the team never won a pennant. However, the late 1960s Cubs were far from the only team in baseball history with multiple Hall of Famers that did not win a pennant or a [[World Series]].
Santo also fell short of such traditional standards of Hall election as [[3,000 hit club|3,000 hits]] and [[500 home run club|500 home runs]]; however, by the time his career ended, only two third basemen ([[Brooks Robinson]] and [[Lave Cross]]) had even collected 2,500 hits, and only one ([[Eddie Mathews]]) had reached the 500-home run plateau.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://static.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/bp/1409616.html |title=Hall Debates: Ron Santo at ESPN.com |work=ESPN |date=July 24, 2002 |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robinbr01.shtml |title=Brooks Robinson at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crossla01.shtml |title=Lave Cross at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/matheed01.shtml |title=Eddie Mathews at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> [[Bill James]], a notable [[sabermetrics|statistical guru]] who has ranked Santo among the 100 greatest players of all time (sixth among third basemen), believed his election to the Hall of Fame was long overdue.
Even though Santo was disappointed at being bypassed by the Hall of Fame, on the day his jersey number 10 was retired by the Cubs, the ever-optimistic and emotional "old Cub" told the cheering Wrigley Field crowd, "This is ''my'' Hall of Fame!"<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/><ref name="Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac">{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/ron_santo_press_release.shtml|title=Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac |publisher=Baseball-almanac.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> During [[Ryne Sandberg]]'s Hall of Fame acceptance speech in 2005, Sandberg reiterated his support for Santo's selection, saying, "...for what it's worth, Ron Santo just gained one more vote from the Veterans Committee."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-17-ron-santo-rogerssep17,0,807360.column |title=www.chicagotribune.com |work=Chicago Tribune |date=October 19, 2011 |access-date=November 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081020164626/http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-17-ron-santo-rogerssep17,0,807360.column |archive-date=October 20, 2008 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> On April 19, 2007, the [[Illinois House of Representatives]] adopted HB 109 ([[Tom Cross (politician)|Cross]]), urging the Veterans Committee of the Baseball Hall of Fame to elect Ron Santo to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Some baseball historians contend the hall of fame induction process was unjust to Santo.
</ref>
While Santo initially received little support for induction into the Hall of Fame, his standing among baseball enthusiasts and [[Sabermetrics|sabermetrician]]s gradually increased over time, culminating with his induction to the Hall of Fame two years after his death.<ref name="Ron Santo Elected to Hall of Fame"/><ref name=SomewhereACub>{{cite magazine|first=Phil|last=Taylor|title=Somewhere A Cub Is Smiling|date=December 19, 2011|magazine=Sports Illustrated|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193034/index.htm|access-date=2011-12-19|archive-date=January 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140111005919/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193034/index.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Santo elected to Hall of Fame by veterans panel|url=https://news.yahoo.com/santo-elected-hall-fame-veterans-panel-161651046.html|author=Walker, B.|publisher=[[Yahoo!]]|access-date=2011-12-05}}</ref>
====Hall of Fame election====
On December 5, 2011, the 16-member Golden Era Committee that began voting on ten candidates selected by the BBWAA screening committee,<ref>National Baseball Hall of Fame, Eras: Golden, "Rules For election For Managers, Umpires, Executives And Players For Golden Era Candidates To The National Baseball Hall Of Fame" {{cite web |url=http://www.baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden |title=Eras: Golden | Baseball Hall of Fame |access-date=2013-04-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130430052048/http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden |archive-date=April 30, 2013 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> was composed of [[Hank Aaron]], [[Pat Gillick]], [[Al Kaline]], [[Ralph Kiner]], [[Tommy Lasorda]], [[Juan Marichal]], [[Brooks Robinson]], [[Billy Williams (left fielder)|Billy Williams]], [[Paul Beeston]], [[Bill DeWitt]], [[Roland Hemond]], [[Gene Michael]], [[Al Rosen]], [[Dick Kaegel]], [[Jack O'Connell (journalist)|Jack O'Connell]], and [[Dave Van Dyck]]. They were charged with determining whether Santo would be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2012. Williams, Santo's long-time teammate and friend, had made a fresh case for Santo, emphasizing his personal struggle with diabetes during his career, and his post-retirement charitable work to try to find a cure. Santo received 15 of the 16 possible votes and was the only one of the ten Golden Era Ballot candidates to be elected to the Hall of Fame by the committee's first vote.<ref name="Ron Santo Elected to Hall of Fame">{{cite web|url=http://baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ron-santo-elected-national-baseball-hall-fame-golden-era-committee|title=Ron Santo Elected to Hall of Fame|access-date=December 5, 2011|archive-date=January 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107222940/http://baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ron-santo-elected-national-baseball-hall-fame-golden-era-committee|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=SomewhereACub/><ref>National Baseball Hall of Fame, November 3, 2011, "Ten Named to Golden Era Ballot for Baseball (1947 to 1972) Hall of Fame Election"[http://www.baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ten-named-golden-era-ballot-baseball-hall-fame-election] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126060038/http://www.baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ten-named-golden-era-ballot-baseball-hall-fame-election |date=January 26, 2021 }}</ref> Santo's widow Vicki accepted the plaque on Induction Day, and spoke about his love of the Cubs and his devotion to people with diabetes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Video: Santo inducted to Hall of Fame |url=https://www.mlb.com/video/santo-inducted-to-hall-of-fame |website=[[MLB.com]] |date=July 22, 2012}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
In 1960, Santo married his high school sweetheart Judy Scott. Together, the couple had three children. They divorced in 1982.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kubian |first1=Susan |title=Home Run |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-11-08-9204110130-story.html |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=November 8, 1992}}</ref> The following year, he married his second wife Vicki; they remained married until his death. The couple resided in [[Bannockburn, Illinois]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-10-16/classified/chi-santo-home-sold-20131016_1_ron-santo-vicki-santo-bannockburn-home |title=Bannockburn home of Ron Santo home sells for $710,000 |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=October 16, 2013 |first=Bob |last=Goldsborough}}</ref>

[[File:Banks-Santo retired numbers.jpg|thumb|right|Retired number at Wrigley Field]]
Santo led the league in double plays six times (1961, 1964, 1966–68, 1971), tying the major league record held by [[Heinie Groh]];<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/> [[Mike Schmidt]] also later tied this record. He led the National League in total chances every season from 1961 through 1968.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/> He appeared at third base in every Cubs game from April 19, [[1964 Chicago Cubs season|1964]] through May 31, [[1966 Chicago Cubs season|1966]], establishing a league record with 364 consecutive games at the position;<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/><ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/> his 164 games at third base in [[1965 Chicago Cubs season|1965]] remain the major league record.
He won the [[Major League Baseball Player of the Month Award|NL Player of the Month award]] three times: June 1963 (.384, 6 HR, 22 RBI); July 1964 (.395, 7 HR, 27 RBI); and June 1969 (.400, 6 HR, 34 RBI).
Santo broke Eddie Mathews' NL record of 369 career double plays at third base in 1972, and in 1973 he broke Mathews' league records of 4,284 assists and 6,606 total chances. Schmidt passed Santo's record for double plays in 1986, his record for assists in 1987, and his mark for total chances in 1988. During his 14-season run with the Cubs, Santo hit 337 home runs, then the eighth most by a NL [[right-handedness|right-handed]] hitter; his 1,071 career walks with the Cubs remain the team record for a right-handed hitter. He was the first third baseman to hit 300 home runs and win five Gold Gloves, a feat since matched only by Schmidt and [[Scott Rolen]].
Santo became the first player in major league history to wear a [[batting helmet]] with protective ear flaps, when in 1966, in the midst of trying to break the Cubs' modern consecutive-game [[hitting streak]] record of 27 games (set by [[Hack Wilson]] in 1929), Santo was sidelined for nearly two weeks following a pitch thrown by the Mets' [[Jack Fisher]]. The [[brushback pitch|beaning]] [[Bone fracture|fractured]] his cheekbone and ended his consecutive playing streak. When he returned (and broke the hitting record with a 28-game streak<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/>) he was wearing an improvised ear flap on his batting helmet in order to protect the injury; ear flaps have since become standard equipment on batting helmets.
In 1999, he was named to the Cubs All-Century Team.

On September 28, 2003, Santo's jersey No. 10 was retired by the Cubs organization, making him the third player so honored behind his teammates Ernie Banks (#14) and Billy Williams (#26).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/history/retired_numbers.jsp |title=Chicago Cubs retired numbers at mlb.com |publisher=Chicago.cubs.mlb.com |date=January 1, 2011 |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Other prominent Cubs had worn No. 10 after Santo's retirement, notably [[Dave Kingman]] and [[Leon Durham]]; the most recent wearer had been interim manager [[Bruce Kimm]], just the previous year. In April 2004, Santo was inducted into the inaugural class of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (Washington's high school athletics league) Hall of Fame as a graduate of Seattle's [[Franklin High School (Seattle, Washington)|Franklin High School]].<ref name="WIAAHof">{{cite web |url=http://www.wiaa.com/HOF/ |title=Hall of Fame |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928025409/http://www.wiaa.com/HOF/ |archive-date=September 28, 2007 |publisher= Washington Interscholastic Activities Association |url-status=dead}}</ref> About a month after Santo's death, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts announced that Santo would be honored by the Cubs in the [[2011 Chicago Cubs season|2011 season]]. From spring training through the end of the season, the Cubs wore a patch on the sleeve of their jersey with the number 10 on it.
Shortly after his death in 2010, [[Bleacher Report]] released a ranking of the 50 most beloved announcers in baseball history, in which Santo was placed 16th. On his entry, Sam Westmoreland wrote about Santo that "he made his share of errors, but that just made him all the more lovable and beloved. He passed as an icon, and deserves a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Westmoreland|first=Sam|title=Ron Santo and the 50 Most Beloved Announcers in Sports History|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/533564-ron-santo-and-the-50-most-beloved-announcers-in-sports-history|access-date=2021-05-27|website=Bleacher Report|language=en}}</ref>

'''Ronald Edward Santo''' (February 25, 1940 – December 3, 2010) was an American [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) [[third baseman]] who played for the [[Chicago Cubs]] from 1960 through 1973 and the [[Chicago White Sox]] in 1974.<ref name="Ron Santo at Baseball Reference">{{cite web |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santoro01.shtml?redir |title=Ron Santo Career Statistics |website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref> In 1990, Santo became a member of the Cubs broadcasting team providing commentary for Cubs games on [[WGN (AM)|WGN radio]] and remained at that position until his death in 2010.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library"/> In 1999, he was selected to the Cubs All-Century Team.

Santo was an [[Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star]] for nine seasons during his 15-year career. He led the [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) in [[triple (baseball)|triples]] one time, in [[base on balls|walks]] four times, and in [[on-base percentage]] two times.<ref name="Ron Santo at Baseball Reference"/> He [[batting average (baseball)|batted]] .300 or more and hit 30 or more [[home run]]s four times each, and is the only third baseman in MLB history to post eight consecutive seasons with over 90 [[run batted in|runs batted in]] (RBI) (1963–70).<ref name="Ron Santo at Baseball Reference"/>
He also was a [[Gold Glove Award]] winner for five consecutive seasons.<ref>[https://www.rawlings.com/gold-glove.html Rawlings Gold Glove Award]</ref> He led the NL in [[total chances]] eight times, in games, [[putout]]s and [[assist (baseball)|assists]] seven times each, and in [[double play]]s six times. From {{mlby|1966}} to {{mlby|1974}}, he held the NL record for assists in a single season. He also set NL records for career assists (4,532), total chances (6,777) and double plays (389) at third base, all of which were eventually broken between {{mlby|1986}} and {{mlby|1988}} by [[Mike Schmidt]]. His NL total of 2,102 games at third base is 52 short of [[Eddie Mathews]]' league record, and he ranks sixth in putouts (1,930) and ninth in [[fielding percentage]] (.954).<ref>[https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/gold_glove_nl.shtml#multi National League Gold Glove Award winners at Baseball Reference]</ref>
Santo enjoyed his success despite battling [[Type 1 diabetes|diabetes]] since he was a teenager, a condition which was concealed from the public until 1971; it eventually necessitated the amputation of the lower half of both his legs.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library">[https://baseballbiography.com/ron-santo-1940 Ron Santo] - Baseballbiography.com</ref> Since 1979, Santo endorsed the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's annual Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes in Chicago. He helped raise over $65 million for the foundation. In 2002, he was named the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's "Person of the Year."<ref name="Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac"/>
==Early life==
Santo was raised in southeast [[Seattle]], attending [[Franklin High School (Seattle)|Franklin High School]], and played newly organized youth baseball in the [[Babe Ruth League]]. He grew up near [[Sicks Stadium]], home of the [[Pacific Coast League]]'s [[Seattle Rainiers]], and had summer jobs there as a batboy, groundskeeper and clubhouse attendant, while playing three sports in high school.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Jaffe|first1=Jay|title=The Cooperstown Casebook: Who's in the Baseball Hall of Fame, Who Should Be In, and Who Should Pack Their Plaques|date=July 30, 2017|url=https://www.si.com/mlb/2017/07/25/hall-fame-cooperstown-casebook-ron-santo|access-date=July 30, 2017|chapter=Ch. 4}}</ref> At age 14 he made the Seattle all-star team that advanced to the 1954 Babe Ruth World Series. In a game at Washington DC Stadium, Santo was inserted at first base, by Coach Dave Tacher, to replace a 15-year-old player who broke his thumb. In that game Santo hit a [[Grand slam (baseball)|grand slam]] over the 354 foot mark in left center field and the Washington All Stars defeated Tennessee.
==Major league career==
===Chicago Cubs (1960–1973)===
[[File:Ron Santo 1961.JPG|thumb|left|upright|Santo in 1961]]
Santo was signed as a [[free agent]] by the Chicago Cubs in [[1959 Chicago Cubs season|1959]], and made his debut on June 26, 1960.<ref name=br>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santoro01.shtml|title=Ron Santo Statistics and History|work=Baseball-Reference|access-date=December 3, 2010}}</ref><ref name="Ron Santo Trades and Transactions at Baseball Almanac">{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/trades.php?p=santoro01 |title=Ron Santo Trades and Transactions at Baseball Almanac|publisher=Baseball-almanac.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> In [[1961 Chicago Cubs season|1961]] he set a Cubs record with 41 [[double play]]s at third base, breaking the previous mark of 33 set by [[Bernie Friberg]] in 1923. In [[1962 Chicago Cubs season|1962]] he led the National League in [[assist (baseball)|assists]] for the first time with 332, setting the team record for assists at third base, breaking the mark of 323 set by [[Randy Jackson (baseball)|Randy Jackson]] in 1951. Santo continued to lead the NL in assists every year through 1968, breaking [[Ned Williamson]]'s major league record of leading the league six times; [[Brooks Robinson]] went on to lead the [[American League]] eight times. [[Mike Schmidt]] eventually tied Santo's NL mark of seven. In 1963 Santo broke the modern NL record with 374 assists at third base, passing [[Tommy Leach]]'s 1904 mark of 371. In 1966, he set the all-time league record with 391, the previous record being [[Billy Shindle]]'s 382 in 1892; his total was 99 higher than that of league runner-up [[Ken Boyer]]. Santo broke his own record in 1967 with 393 assists,<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page">{{cite web|url=http://www.thebaseballpage.com/players/santoro01.php |title=Ron Santo at The Baseball Page |publisher=Thebaseballpage.com|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> which remained the NL record until Schmidt posted 404 in 1974. He also finished fourth in the [[1967 Chicago Cubs season|1967]] NL [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|Most Valuable Player Award]] voting results.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1967.shtml#NLmvp |title=1967 National League Most Valuable Player Award voting results at Baseball Almanac |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Santo's assist totals from 1963 through 1968 were the six highest by an NL third baseman between 1905 and 1973. He also led the NL in [[putout]]s every year from 1962 through 1967 and again in 1969, tying the league record shared by [[Pie Traynor]] and [[Willie Jones (third baseman)|Willie Jones]] in leading the league seven times;<ref name=autogenerated2>{{cite web|url=http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/news/2007/election/vc/santo.htm |title=Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame |date=June 30, 2007 |access-date=November 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070630103614/http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/news/2007/election/vc/santo.htm |archive-date=June 30, 2007 }}</ref> [[Tim Wallach]] later tied the mark as well.
Santo was deeply saddened by the loss of teammate [[Ken Hubbs]], the Cubs second baseman, killed in a plane crash just prior to the 1964 season. Santo was interviewed by [[Tom Harmon]], narrator of the film ''A Glimpse of Greatness–The Story of Ken Hubbs'', in which Santo paid the highest respects to the young Hubbs.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}}
In 1969, Santo and [[1969 Chicago Cubs season|the Cubs]] were in first place in the [[National League East]] for 180 days, before going 8–17 in their final 25 games, while the [[1969 New York Mets season|New York "Miracle" Mets]] went 37–11 in their final 48 games.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3SoDAAAAMBAJ&q=baseball+digest+ron+santo&pg=PA66|title=''Ron Santo: A Hall of Fame Plaque In His Future?'' by Bill Dray, Baseball Digest, July 1992, Vol. 51, No. 7, ISSN 0005-609X|access-date=November 13, 2011}}{{Dead link|date=November 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> During that season, the Cubs sent their entire starting [[infielder|infield]], including Santo, to the [[1969 Major League Baseball All-Star Game|All-Star Game]] in Washington, D.C.; he and Cubs shortstop [[Don Kessinger]] started for the NL team.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ALS/ALS196907230.shtml |title=1969 All-Star game at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Santo finished the season with a .289 [[batting average (baseball)|batting average]], 29 [[home run]]s and a career-high 123 [[runs batted in]] (RBI), and finished fifth in the NL's MVP voting.<ref name=br/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_1969.shtml#NLmvp |title=1969 Most Valuable Player Award voting results at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref>
====Heel click====
During the 1969 season, Santo became known for performing a heel click after a game on June 22, 1969, against the [[Montreal Expos]].<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/><ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web |url=https://baseballbiography.com/ron-santo-1940 |title=Ron Santo |publisher=baseballbiography.com |date=June 26, 1960 |access-date=November 13, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Going into the bottom of the ninth inning, the Expos were leading 6–3. With one out, [[Paul Popovich]] hit a [[single (baseball)|single]] and moved up to second base after another single by [[Billy Williams (left fielder)|Billy Williams]]. Although Santo [[Baseball rules|grounded out]] for the second out, Popovich and Williams each moved up a base. Then future Hall of Famer [[Ernie Banks]] singled to bring home Williams and Popovich and bring the Cubs within a [[run (baseball)|run]]. [[Rick Bladt]] substituted as a [[pinch runner]] for Banks. That set it up for [[Jim Hickman (1960s outfielder)|Jim Hickman]], who hit a two-run [[walk-off home run]] to win the game 7–6.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN196906221.shtml |title=June 22, 1969 Expos-Cubs box score at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |date=June 22, 1969 |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> When Hickman reached [[home plate]], Santo was so excited that after congratulating him by bear hugging and pounding him on his head, Santo ran down the third base line and jumped three times, clicking his heels on each jump.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library"/><ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/>
[[File:Ron Santo 1973.jpg|alt=|thumb|upright|Santo in 1973]]
The next day, Santo walked into [[Manager (baseball)|manager]] [[Leo Durocher]]'s office; Durocher asked him to keep clicking his heels whenever the Cubs won at [[Wrigley Field]] to motivate the team. Santo continued this after every home win. The stunt antagonized opponents and served to make the team a target for payback in the final weeks of the season. When the Cubs began their September [[Losing streak (sport)|swoon]], which took place shortly after Santo called out rookie teammate [[Donald Young (baseball)|Don Young]] in public after a loss against the Mets in New York, he discontinued the heel click routine suddenly. His final "click" was performed on September 2, the last Cub home victory while still in first place. During and after the epic collapse, Santo never again performed the heel click, as critics decried the routine for its arrogance and overconfidence, which many believe was at the root of the late fade. {{Citation needed|date=December 2008}} On the day Santo was enshrined in the Hall of Fame, the Cubs' starting lineup all did the "kick" at the start of the game in tribute.
====Trade veto====
Santo became the first player to invoke the ten-and-five rule under the [[collective bargaining]] agreement that was signed to end the [[1972 Major League Baseball strike]]. The rule allowed players with ten years' service, the last five with the same team, to decline any trade.<ref name="santo2whitesox">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/12/12/archives/santo-stays-in-chicago-cubs-trade-him-to-white-sox.html |title=Santo Stays in Chicago, Cubs Trade Him to White Sox |agency=United Press International |date=December 11, 1973 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> The Cubs had agreed upon a deal to send Santo to the [[California Angels]]; the ballclub would have received in return two young pitchers: [[Andy Hassler]], who went on to have a middling career as a [[Relief pitcher|reliever]]/spot starter, and [[Bruce Heinbechner]], a very highly regarded left-handed pitching [[Prospect (sports)|prospect]], who died before the beginning of the 1974 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=heinbe001bru|title = Bruce Heinbechner Winter & Minor Leagues Statistics & History}}</ref> Santo's desire to stay in Chicago was his motivation to veto the deal on December 8, 1973.<ref name="santo2whitesox"/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/12/09/archives/marichal-sold-to-red-sox-angels-fail-to-woo-santo-again-cards.html |title=Angels Fail to Woo Santo Again |agency=Associated Press |date=December 8, 1973 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>
===Chicago White Sox (1974)===
He then asked Cubs management to try for a deal with the [[Chicago White Sox|crosstown White Sox]] which was made official on December 11, 1973, with the North Siders acquiring [[Steve Swisher]], [[Steve Stone (baseball)|Steve Stone]] and [[Ken Frailing]].<ref name="santo2whitesox"/> [[Jim Kremmel]] was also sent to the Cubs to complete the transaction one week later on December 18.<ref>{{Cite news |date=1973-12-19 |title=White Sox Finish Trade for Santo |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1973/12/19/archives/white-sox-finish-trade-for-santo.html |access-date=2023-08-16 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The White Sox already had a third baseman, [[Bill Melton]], so Santo was relegated mostly to [[designated hitter]] duty, which he hated. He wanted to play in the field, but White Sox manager [[Chuck Tanner]] would not bench Melton and unsuccessfully tried Santo at second base. Finishing [[1974 Chicago White Sox season|1974]] with a .221 batting average and 5 home runs, Santo retired from baseball at the age of 34.<ref name=br/>
==Post-retirement==
[[File:Ron Santo.JPG|alt=|thumb|upright|Santo at [[Wrigley Field]] in 2009]]
===Broadcast career===
As the "single biggest Cubs fan of all time," Santo joined the Cubs' broadcast booth in 1990 as the [[WGN (AM)|WGN radio]] [[color commentator]].<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Library"/><ref name="Cubsb">{{cite web |url=http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/team/broadcasters.jsp?c_id=chc |title=Chicago Cubs Broadcasters |publisher=Chicago.cubs.mlb.com |access-date=November 13, 2011 |archive-date=September 2, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110902060747/http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/team/broadcasters.jsp?c_id=chc |url-status=dead }}</ref> He worked with [[Sports commentary|play-by-play announcer]] [[Pat Hughes (sportscaster)|Pat Hughes]], and these radio broadcasts were also known as the ''[[Pat and Ron Show]]''. He also worked with [[Harry Caray]], [[Thom Brennaman]], [[Steve Stone (baseball)|Steve Stone]] and [[Bob Brenly]]. Santo also briefly worked with [[Chicago Bears]] and [[Green Bay Packers]] commentator [[Wayne Larrivee]]. In addition to his broadcasting career, he did commercials for [[Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating]], which he endorsed, along with joining Hughes in ads for [[Walgreens]] and [[Chevrolet]]. In Chicago, Santo was known for his unabashed broadcast enthusiasm, including groans and cheers during the game. As excitable as Santo was when a great play for the Cubs occurred, he was equally as vocal in his displeasure when events turned against the Cubs.
===Struggle with diabetes===
In the early years of his playing career, he carefully concealed the fact that he had [[type 1 diabetes]]. He feared that if this information were to be known, he would be forced into retirement. Because the methods of regulating diabetes in the 1960s and 1970s were not as advanced as they are today,<ref name=SomewhereACub/> Santo gauged his [[blood sugar]] levels based on his moods.<ref name="thisoldcub">{{cite video |people = Santo, Jeff | title = ''This Old Cub'' | medium = DVD | publisher=Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408261/| date = 2004 }}</ref> If he felt his blood sugar was low, he would snack on a candy bar in the [[locker room|clubhouse]].<ref name="thisoldcub"/>
As part of the publicity surrounding "Ron Santo Day" at Wrigley Field on August 28, 1971, he revealed his struggle with diabetes. He was diagnosed with this disease at the age of 18, and was given a life expectancy of 25 years. Santo had both his legs amputated below the knee as a result of his diabetes: the right in 2001 and the left in 2002.
In 2004 Santo and his battle against diabetes were the subject of a documentary, ''[[This Old Cub]]''. The film was written, co-produced and directed by Santo's son Jeff.<ref name=SomewhereACub/>
Santo shared a bond in this respect with 2008 Cubs rookie [[Sam Fuld]], who also has type 1 diabetes.<ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=146449 |work=Daily Herald | title=Diabetes won't hold back Cubs' outfield prospect |access-date = June 25, 2008}}</ref>
===Charities===
The Santo family has been involved with the [[Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation]] since 1979, with the annual Ron Santo Walk to Cure Diabetes in Chicago having raised over $65 million for the organization. In 2002, Santo was named the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's "Person of the Year."<ref name="Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac"/> Santo also inspired [[Bill Holden (schoolteacher)|Bill Holden]] to walk {{convert|2100|mi}} from [[Arizona]] to Chicago to raise $250,000 for diabetes research. During the [[2016 World Series]], the JDRF hosted watch parties for road games hosted by family members.
===Death===
[[File:Santo Memorial (5235359985).jpg|alt=|thumb|Memorial outside Wrigley Field following Santo's death in 2010]]

Santo was later cremated and his ashes scattered on the field at the Friendly Confines.
On August 10, 2011, Santo was memorialized and "immortalized" at Wrigley Field with the presentation of a statue in his likeness. The statue is a portrayal of a young Santo playing defense at third base, leaning to his right while throwing a ball.
==Hall of Fame candidacy==
===BBWAA===
When Santo first became eligible for election to the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Baseball Hall of Fame]] in {{bhofy|1980}}, he was named on less than four percent of all ballots cast by the [[Baseball Writers' Association of America]] (BBWAA), resulting in his removal from the ballot in subsequent years; he was one of several players re-added to the ballot in {{bhofy|1985}} following widespread complaints about overlooked candidates, with the remainder of their 15 years of eligibility restored even if this extended beyond the usual limit of 20 years after their last season. After receiving 13 percent of the vote in the 1985 election, his vote totals increased in 10 of the next 13 years until he received 43 percent of the vote in his final year on the {{bhofy|1998}} ballot, finishing third in the voting behind electee [[Don Sutton]] and 2000 inductee [[Tony Pérez]].
===Veterans Committee===
Following revamped voting procedures for the [[Veterans Committee]], which had elected players retired for over 20 years to the Hall of Fame, Santo finished third in {{bhofy|2003}}, tied for first in {{bhofy|2005}}, and again finished first in voting for the {{bhofy|2007}} and {{bhofy|2009}} inductions, but fell short of the required number of votes each year.
===Golden Era Committee===
Santo's next opportunity for admission to the Hall of Fame following a further major change to the voting structure and process announced in 2010, came during the voting in 2011 by the new 16-member Golden Era Committee which considers every three years, ten candidates identified by the Historical Overview Committee from the 1947 to 1972 era.<ref>National Baseball Hall of Fame, Eras: Golden, [http://www.baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden "Rules For election For Managers, Umpires, Executives, And Players For Golden Era Candidates To The National Baseball Hall Of Fame"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130430052048/http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden |date=April 30, 2013 }}</ref>
Although Santo became a widely supported candidate for selection, his initial poor showing in balloting has been attributed to various factors, including a longtime tendency of BBWAA voters to overlook third basemen; at the time Santo retired, only three of the over 120 players elected were third basemen, and only [[Pie Traynor]] had been elected by the BBWAA. Also, the fact that Santo's best years occurred in the pitching-dominated 1960s has been cited as a factor that led the voters to perhaps overlook him.<ref name="The Hall of Fame Case for Ron Santo">{{cite web |website=[[ESPN]] |title=Santo's Hall credentials hard to overlook |first=Rob |last=Neyer |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/columns/neyer_rob/1514118.html}}</ref> Another possible reason that was suggested was that voters had not focused sufficiently on Santo's high walk totals and defense. These aspects of play are perhaps more valued by [[sabermetrics]] — newer methods of evaluating a baseball player's productivity — than they have been by BBWAA voters in the past. For example, Santo's career [[On-base plus slugging#Adjusted OPS|adjusted on-base plus slugging]] (OPS+; the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage, adjusted for the park and league in which he played and expressed as a percentage of the league average) would rank him exactly in the middle of the ten major league third basemen who were in the Hall of Fame in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/onbase_plus_slugging_plus_career.shtml |title=Career Leaders & Records for Adjusted OPS|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref>
One argument that was raised against Santo's Hall of Fame candidacy is that his [[Baseball statistics|batting statistics]] over the course of his career were significantly better at home than on the road. He hit 216 of his 342 home runs at home, and only 126 on the road.<ref name="Ron Santo Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference">{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=santoro01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis|title=Ron Santo Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> His career batting average at home was .296, versus .257 on the road.<ref name="Ron Santo Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference"/> However, several players elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA, such as [[Carl Yastrzemski]], [[Wade Boggs]], [[Jim Rice]] and [[Kirby Puckett]], batted significantly better in their home parks than they did on the road.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=yastrca01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis|title=Carl Yastrzemski Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=boggswa01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis |title=Wade Boggs Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=riceji01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis |title=Jim Rice Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?n1=puckeki01&year=Career&t=b#hmvis |title=Kirby Puckett Home-Away splits at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Hall of Famers with a significant differential between their home numbers and road numbers in terms of home runs include [[Mel Ott]] (323 homers at home and 188 on the road), [[Frank Robinson]] (321 at home, 265 on the road), [[Jimmie Foxx]] (299 at home, 235 on the road) and [[Hank Greenberg]] (205 at home, 126 on the road).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=ottme01&t=b |title=Mel Ott home run log at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=robinfr02&t=b |title=Frank Robinson home run log at Baseball Reference|publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=foxxji01&t=b |title=Jimmie Foxx home run log at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/event_hr.cgi?n1=greenha01&t=b |title=Hank Greenberg home run log at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Others have also commented that two Cubs
players who were in their prime during Santo's prime years have already been honored by the Hall of Fame ([[Ferguson Jenkins]] and Billy Williams), and the Cubs also featured a third Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks, who was arguably past his prime, yet the team never won a pennant. However, the late 1960s Cubs were far from the only team in baseball history with multiple Hall of Famers that did not win a pennant or a [[World Series]].
Santo also fell short of such traditional standards of Hall election as [[3,000 hit club|3,000 hits]] and [[500 home run club|500 home runs]]; however, by the time his career ended, only two third basemen ([[Brooks Robinson]] and [[Lave Cross]]) had even collected 2,500 hits, and only one ([[Eddie Mathews]]) had reached the 500-home run plateau.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://static.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/bp/1409616.html |title=Hall Debates: Ron Santo at ESPN.com |work=ESPN |date=July 24, 2002 |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robinbr01.shtml |title=Brooks Robinson at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crossla01.shtml |title=Lave Cross at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/matheed01.shtml |title=Eddie Mathews at Baseball Reference |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com|access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> [[Bill James]], a notable [[sabermetrics|statistical guru]] who has ranked Santo among the 100 greatest players of all time (sixth among third basemen), believed his election to the Hall of Fame was long overdue.
Even though Santo was disappointed at being bypassed by the Hall of Fame, on the day his jersey number 10 was retired by the Cubs, the ever-optimistic and emotional "old Cub" told the cheering Wrigley Field crowd, "This is ''my'' Hall of Fame!"<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/><ref name="Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac">{{cite web|url=http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/ron_santo_press_release.shtml|title=Ron Santo Uniform Number to be Retired at Baseball Almanac |publisher=Baseball-almanac.com |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> During [[Ryne Sandberg]]'s Hall of Fame acceptance speech in 2005, Sandberg reiterated his support for Santo's selection, saying, "...for what it's worth, Ron Santo just gained one more vote from the Veterans Committee."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-17-ron-santo-rogerssep17,0,807360.column |title=www.chicagotribune.com |work=Chicago Tribune |date=October 19, 2011 |access-date=November 13, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081020164626/http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-17-ron-santo-rogerssep17,0,807360.column |archive-date=October 20, 2008 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> On April 19, 2007, the [[Illinois House of Representatives]] adopted HB 109 ([[Tom Cross (politician)|Cross]]), urging the Veterans Committee of the Baseball Hall of Fame to elect Ron Santo to the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Some baseball historians contend the hall of fame induction process was unjust to Santo.
</ref>
While Santo initially received little support for induction into the Hall of Fame, his standing among baseball enthusiasts and [[Sabermetrics|sabermetrician]]s gradually increased over time, culminating with his induction to the Hall of Fame two years after his death.<ref name="Ron Santo Elected to Hall of Fame"/><ref name=SomewhereACub>{{cite magazine|first=Phil|last=Taylor|title=Somewhere A Cub Is Smiling|date=December 19, 2011|magazine=Sports Illustrated|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193034/index.htm|access-date=2011-12-19|archive-date=January 11, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140111005919/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1193034/index.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Santo elected to Hall of Fame by veterans panel|url=https://news.yahoo.com/santo-elected-hall-fame-veterans-panel-161651046.html|author=Walker, B.|publisher=[[Yahoo!]]|access-date=2011-12-05}}</ref>
====Hall of Fame election====
On December 5, 2011, the 16-member Golden Era Committee that began voting on ten candidates selected by the BBWAA screening committee,<ref>National Baseball Hall of Fame, Eras: Golden, "Rules For election For Managers, Umpires, Executives And Players For Golden Era Candidates To The National Baseball Hall Of Fame" {{cite web |url=http://www.baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden |title=Eras: Golden | Baseball Hall of Fame |access-date=2013-04-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130430052048/http://baseballhall.org/hall-famers/rules-election/eras-golden |archive-date=April 30, 2013 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> was composed of [[Hank Aaron]], [[Pat Gillick]], [[Al Kaline]], [[Ralph Kiner]], [[Tommy Lasorda]], [[Juan Marichal]], [[Brooks Robinson]], [[Billy Williams (left fielder)|Billy Williams]], [[Paul Beeston]], [[Bill DeWitt]], [[Roland Hemond]], [[Gene Michael]], [[Al Rosen]], [[Dick Kaegel]], [[Jack O'Connell (journalist)|Jack O'Connell]], and [[Dave Van Dyck]]. They were charged with determining whether Santo would be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2012. Williams, Santo's long-time teammate and friend, had made a fresh case for Santo, emphasizing his personal struggle with diabetes during his career, and his post-retirement charitable work to try to find a cure. Santo received 15 of the 16 possible votes and was the only one of the ten Golden Era Ballot candidates to be elected to the Hall of Fame by the committee's first vote.<ref name="Ron Santo Elected to Hall of Fame">{{cite web|url=http://baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ron-santo-elected-national-baseball-hall-fame-golden-era-committee|title=Ron Santo Elected to Hall of Fame|access-date=December 5, 2011|archive-date=January 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120107222940/http://baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ron-santo-elected-national-baseball-hall-fame-golden-era-committee|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=SomewhereACub/><ref>National Baseball Hall of Fame, November 3, 2011, "Ten Named to Golden Era Ballot for Baseball (1947 to 1972) Hall of Fame Election"[http://www.baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ten-named-golden-era-ballot-baseball-hall-fame-election] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210126060038/http://www.baseballhall.org/news/press-releases/ten-named-golden-era-ballot-baseball-hall-fame-election |date=January 26, 2021 }}</ref> Santo's widow Vicki accepted the plaque on Induction Day, and spoke about his love of the Cubs and his devotion to people with diabetes.<ref>{{cite web |title=Video: Santo inducted to Hall of Fame |url=https://www.mlb.com/video/santo-inducted-to-hall-of-fame |website=[[MLB.com]] |date=July 22, 2012}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
In 1960, Santo married his high school sweetheart Judy Scott. Together, the couple had three children. They divorced in 1982.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kubian |first1=Susan |title=Home Run |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1992-11-08-9204110130-story.html |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=November 8, 1992}}</ref> The following year, he married his second wife Vicki; they remained married until his death. The couple resided in [[Bannockburn, Illinois]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-10-16/classified/chi-santo-home-sold-20131016_1_ron-santo-vicki-santo-bannockburn-home |title=Bannockburn home of Ron Santo home sells for $710,000 |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |date=October 16, 2013 |first=Bob |last=Goldsborough}}</ref>
==Legacy==
[[File:Banks-Santo retired numbers.jpg|thumb|right|Retired number at Wrigley Field]]
Santo led the league in double plays six times (1961, 1964, 1966–68, 1971), tying the major league record held by [[Heinie Groh]];<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/> [[Mike Schmidt]] also later tied this record. He led the National League in total chances every season from 1961 through 1968.<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/> He appeared at third base in every Cubs game from April 19, [[1964 Chicago Cubs season|1964]] through May 31, [[1966 Chicago Cubs season|1966]], establishing a league record with 364 consecutive games at the position;<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Hall of Fame"/><ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/> his 164 games at third base in [[1965 Chicago Cubs season|1965]] remain the major league record.
He won the [[Major League Baseball Player of the Month Award|NL Player of the Month award]] three times: June 1963 (.384, 6 HR, 22 RBI); July 1964 (.395, 7 HR, 27 RBI); and June 1969 (.400, 6 HR, 34 RBI).
Santo broke Eddie Mathews' NL record of 369 career double plays at third base in 1972, and in 1973 he broke Mathews' league records of 4,284 assists and 6,606 total chances. Schmidt passed Santo's record for double plays in 1986, his record for assists in 1987, and his mark for total chances in 1988. During his 14-season run with the Cubs, Santo hit 337 home runs, then the eighth most by a NL [[right-handedness|right-handed]] hitter; his 1,071 career walks with the Cubs remain the team record for a right-handed hitter. He was the first third baseman to hit 300 home runs and win five Gold Gloves, a feat since matched only by Schmidt and [[Scott Rolen]].
Santo became the first player in major league history to wear a [[batting helmet]] with protective ear flaps, when in 1966, in the midst of trying to break the Cubs' modern consecutive-game [[hitting streak]] record of 27 games (set by [[Hack Wilson]] in 1929), Santo was sidelined for nearly two weeks following a pitch thrown by the Mets' [[Jack Fisher]]. The [[brushback pitch|beaning]] [[Bone fracture|fractured]] his cheekbone and ended his consecutive playing streak. When he returned (and broke the hitting record with a 28-game streak<ref name="Ron Santo at the Baseball Page"/>) he was wearing an improvised ear flap on his batting helmet in order to protect the injury; ear flaps have since become standard equipment on batting helmets.
In 1999, he was named to the Cubs All-Century Team.

On September 28, 2003, Santo's jersey No. 10 was retired by the Cubs organization, making him the third player so honored behind his teammates Ernie Banks (#14) and Billy Williams (#26).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/chc/history/retired_numbers.jsp |title=Chicago Cubs retired numbers at mlb.com |publisher=Chicago.cubs.mlb.com |date=January 1, 2011 |access-date=November 13, 2011}}</ref> Other prominent Cubs had worn No. 10 after Santo's retirement, notably [[Dave Kingman]] and [[Leon Durham]]; the most recent wearer had been interim manager [[Bruce Kimm]], just the previous year. In April 2004, Santo was inducted into the inaugural class of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (Washington's high school athletics league) Hall of Fame as a graduate of Seattle's [[Franklin High School (Seattle, Washington)|Franklin High School]].<ref name="WIAAHof">{{cite web |url=http://www.wiaa.com/HOF/ |title=Hall of Fame |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928025409/http://www.wiaa.com/HOF/ |archive-date=September 28, 2007 |publisher= Washington Interscholastic Activities Association |url-status=dead}}</ref> About a month after Santo's death, Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts announced that Santo would be honored by the Cubs in the [[2011 Chicago Cubs season|2011 season]]. From spring training through the end of the season, the Cubs wore a patch on the sleeve of their jersey with the number 10 on it.
Shortly after his death in 2010, [[Bleacher Report]] released a ranking of the 50 most beloved announcers in baseball history, in which Santo was placed 16th. On his entry, Sam Westmoreland wrote about Santo that "he made his share of errors, but that just made him all the more lovable and beloved. He passed as an icon, and deserves a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Westmoreland|first=Sam|title=Ron Santo and the 50 Most Beloved Announcers in Sports History|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/533564-ron-santo-and-the-50-most-beloved-announcers-in-sports-history|access-date=2021-05-27|website=Bleacher Report|language=en}}</ref>

<p>When Santo first became eligible for election to the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/National_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_and_Museum" title="National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum">Baseball Hall of Fame</a> in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1980_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="1980 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">1980</a>, he was named on less than four percent of all ballots cast by the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Baseball_Writers%27_Association_of_America" title="Baseball Writers' Association of America">Baseball Writers' Association of America</a> (BBWAA), resulting in his removal from the ballot in subsequent years; he was one of several players re-added to the ballot in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1985_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="1985 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">1985</a> following widespread complaints about overlooked candidates, with the remainder of their 15 years of eligibility restored even if this extended beyond the usual limit of 20 years after their last season. After receiving 13 percent of the vote in the 1985 election, his vote totals increased in 10 of the next 13 years until he received 43 percent of the vote in his final year on the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/1998_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="1998 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">1998</a> ballot, finishing third in the voting behind electee <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Don_Sutton" title="Don Sutton">Don Sutton</a> and 2000 inductee <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Tony_P%C3%A9rez" title="Tony Pérez">Tony Pérez</a>.

<p>Following revamped voting procedures for the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Veterans_Committee" title="Veterans Committee">Veterans Committee</a>, which had elected players retired for over 20 years to the Hall of Fame, Santo finished third in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2003_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2003 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2003</a>, tied for first in <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2005_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2005 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2005</a>, and again finished first in voting for the <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2007_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2007 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2007</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/2009_Baseball_Hall_of_Fame_balloting" title="2009 Baseball Hall of Fame balloting">2009</a> inductions, but fell short of the required number of votes each year.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Golden_Era_Committee">Golden Era Committee</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ron_Santo&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Golden Era Committee"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div>
<p>Santo's next opportunity for admission to the Hall of Fame following a further major change to the voting structure and process announced in 2010, came during the voting in 2011 by the new 16-member Golden Era Committee which considers every three years, ten candidates identified by the Historical Overview Committee from the 1947 to 1972 era.<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Although Santo became a widely supported candidate for selection, his initial poor showing in balloting has been attributed to various factors, including a longtime tendency of BBWAA voters to overlook third basemen; at the time Santo retired, only three of the over 120 players elected were third basemen, and only <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Pie_Traynor" title="Pie Traynor">Pie Traynor</a> had been elected by the BBWAA. Also, the fact that Santo's best years occurred in the pitching-dominated 1960s has been cited as a factor that led the voters to perhaps overlook him.<sup id="cite_ref-The_Hall_of_Fame_Case_for_Ron_Santo_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-The_Hall_of_Fame_Case_for_Ron_Santo-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another possible reason that was suggested was that voters had not focused sufficiently on Santo's high walk totals and defense. These aspects of play are perhaps more valued by <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Sabermetrics" title="Sabermetrics">sabermetrics</a> — newer methods of evaluating a baseball player's productivity — than they have been by BBWAA voters in the past. For example, Santo's career <a href="/enwiki/wiki/On-base_plus_slugging#Adjusted_OPS" title="On-base plus slugging">adjusted on-base plus slugging</a> (OPS+; the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage, adjusted for the park and league in which he played and expressed as a percentage of the league average) would rank him exactly in the middle of the ten major league third basemen who were in the Hall of Fame in 2011.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>One argument that was raised against Santo's Hall of Fame candidacy is that his <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Baseball_statistics" title="Baseball statistics">batting statistics</a> over the course of his career were significantly better at home than on the road. He hit 216 of his 342 home runs at home, and only 126 on the road.<sup id="cite_ref-Ron_Santo_Home-Away_splits_at_Baseball_Reference_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ron_Santo_Home-Away_splits_at_Baseball_Reference-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> His career batting average at home was .296, versus .257 on the road.<sup id="cite_ref-Ron_Santo_Home-Away_splits_at_Baseball_Reference_35-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Ron_Santo_Home-Away_splits_at_Baseball_Reference-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, several players elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA, such as <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Carl_Yastrzemski" title="Carl Yastrzemski">Carl Yastrzemski</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Wade_Boggs" title="Wade Boggs">Wade Boggs</a>, <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jim_Rice" title="Jim Rice">Jim Rice</a> and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Kirby_Puckett" title="Kirby Puckett">Kirby Puckett</a>, batted significantly better in their home parks than they did on the road.<sup id="cite_ref-36" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>36<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-37" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-37"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>37<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-38" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-38"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>38<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hall of Famers with a significant differential between their home numbers and road numbers in terms of home runs include <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Mel_Ott" title="Mel Ott">Mel Ott</a> (323 homers at home and 188 on the road), <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Frank_Robinson" title="Frank Robinson">Frank Robinson</a> (321 at home, 265 on the road), <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Jimmie_Foxx" title="Jimmie Foxx">Jimmie Foxx</a> (299 at home, 235 on the road) and <a href="/enwiki/wiki/Hank_Greenberg" title="Hank Greenberg">Hank Greenberg</a> (205 at home, 126 on the road).<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-43" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-43"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Others have also commented that two Cubs
players who were in their prime during Santo's prime years have already been honored by the Hall of Fame (<a href="/enwiki/wiki/Ferguson_Jenkins" title="Ferguson Jenkins">Ferguson Jenkins</a> and Billy Williams), and the Cubs also featured a third Hall of Famer, Ernie Banks, who was arguably past his prime, yet the team never won a pennant.
