Ron Santo Dies at 70

[Jntg4]

He... he... had a coma and... he... he... died... in Arizona.

This sucks.

Now the Cubs will also need to find anew radio broadcaster, and Santo never got to see himself make it to the Hall Of Fame .

A really sad day for the Cubs.

R.I.P. Mr. Santo, you were a great Cub and will be remembered as such.

FML.

Still sad.

 

[MotorCityCub]

Very sad. Being in Detroit my main connection to the Cubs is listening to the radio broadcast. It's not going to be the same. With Ron you could always tell how the Cubs were doing within seconds of tuning it. He wore his love for the Cubs on his sleeve.

RIP Santo!

I have too many thoughts to express about this but it all boils down to this: F.U. Hall of Fame and F.U. to all of those who criticized his passion for the game and for the team. He was like one of us in the booth. A real fan of this team who loved the team and suffered along with it.

The Blackhawks will honor Santo before today's game with a moment of silence.

 

[Capt. Serious]

RIP Santo even though I found your broadcasting to be quite annoying...from the interviews i seen you do were a nice dude.

If I didn't have so much going on today and tomorrow, I'd head down to Wrigley with some flowers to put under the flag.
