As far as I'm concerned, ...Great article, Paul. As far as I'm concerned, those HOF voters didn't get it. If they were going to vote Coach into the HOF, they should have done it while he was sucking air, not when he was taking the dirt nap. I didn't like Santo when I was a kid, because he stole some the the limelight from my all-time favorite player, Eddie Matthews. But that was just a kid's resentment. Santo played with Type 1 diabetes. I had a good friend who I played HS ball with in the 60's who had the same thing and I used to watch him administer those shots every day. I thought it sucked when I watched him. Can you imagine what it was like for him? Santo had comparable numbers to Robinson. He should have been voted in while he was still alive. He didn't play for a winner, and they penalized him for that ever after.<br />Kool PapaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
