The nice thing about Santo finally getting in is now people can stop voting for him. How many elections did it take, 20 perhaps? (Last appeared on BBWAA in 1998.) IMO if it takes 20 elections to get someone elected then he shouldn't be elected.

After 20 or so attemps it seems like he was elected out of pity. Either than or Santo became significantly better after he retired.

I can already hear the conversations when trying to determine who to vote for: "okay, now who's the next best player after Santo?"

Santo never got above 48% in the writers vote. There is a reason for that

I agree with Jim Murphy 100 percent. Half of the guys in the HOF should NOT be in. I love Santo, but no way in hell he belongs.

In Ron Santo's HOF, Norm Cash would be playing 1B, Sam McDowell pitching, Frank Howard in the outfield....not bad.
