A list of puns related to "Ron Santo"
Not sure if I can ask this here, but I've been trying to hunt down a signed 8x10 (or any size) photo of Pat and Ron for my dad for Christmas, and haven't had any luck finding anything. Tons of individual ones for them, and a few autographed baseballs they both signed, but can't find a photo of them together signed by both, and it really feels like they should exist somewhere. If anyone has a lead on something like this for sale, please let me know. Thanks!
My personal favorite was Darwin Barney's first at bat and Ron told Pat "Darwin Barney, sounds like a left handed catcher to me if ya know what I mean".
I was discussing with a fellow Cub fan who claimed that the best way to determine who the top baseball players are is by their WAR. Even though WAR is the favored metric by all the "in the know" baseball people, I have not really given it much credence.
However in checking the career WAR totals for my favorite Cub stars from the modern era, I found the following from Baseball Reference: Ron Santo/70.4 WAR - Ryne Sandberg/67.5 WAR - Ernie Banks/67.4 WAR - Andre Dawson/64.5 WAR - Billy Williams/63.6 WAR - Sammy Sosa/58.4 WAR and Kris Bryant with 19.7 WAR in only 3 years.
Hopefully, MLB (or WGN, or whoever owns the rights) is reading this; I'd pay good money to listen to classic Pat and Ron broadcasts.
