1:05 🌟 Ron Santo: The Heart of the Cubs 🌟
Ron Santo, the iconic third baseman for the Chicago Cubs, was posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012, two years after his passing. Throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, Santo was a pillar of consistency and passion, amassing 342 home runs and winning five Gold Glove Awards. His emotional presence and heel-clicking celebrations captured the hearts of Cubs fans everywhere. Beyond his playing days, Santo was a beloved broadcaster and a fervent advocate for diabetes research, raising awareness and funds for the cause. His legacy as a player, fan favorite, and community hero lives on in the hallowed halls of Cooperstown.
3:38 🏆 Lou Gehrig: The Iron Horse 🏆
Lou Gehrig, the stoic and powerful first baseman for the New York Yankees, left an indelible mark on baseball before his life was tragically cut short by ALS. Known as "The Iron Horse," Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games stood as a beacon of durability and commitment. His poignant "Luckiest Man" speech not only highlighted his incredible character but also brought global attention to ALS, forever associating his legacy with courage and resilience. Gehrig's swift induction into the Hall of Fame in 1941, the same year of his passing, underscores the immense respect he commanded on and off the field.
5:36 🌍 Roberto Clemente: A Legacy of Compassion 🌍
Roberto Clemente, a humanitarian as much as a baseball legend, met a tragic end in 1972 while en route to deliver aid to earthquake victims. His posthumous induction into the Hall of Fame in 1973 was a testament to his profound impact both as a player and a person. With a career that included exactly 3,000 hits and 12 Gold Gloves, Clemente was not only a phenomenal athlete but also a trailblazer for Latin American players. His dedication to humanitarian efforts and equality continues to inspire generations, making him a timeless hero in the world of sports.
7:27 ⏳ Christy Mathewson: The Gentleman's Pitcher ⏳
Christy Mathewson, one of the original five inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame, was an epitome of sportsmanship and skill. His pitching prowess, characterized by a staggering 373 wins and an ERA of 2.13, set standards during the dead-ball era. Known for his integrity and intellectual approach to the game, Mathewson elevated the public perception of baseball players at a time when the sport needed heroes. His legacy as a pitcher and a gentleman continues to influence the game and its followers.
9:09 🐅 Harry Heilmann: Master of the Bat 🐅
Harry Heilmann, known for his remarkable hitting ability, left a lasting legacy that earned him a place in the Hall of Fame in 1952, shortly after his passing. With a career batting average of .342 and multiple batting titles, Heilmann was one of the most dominant hitters of his era. His smooth transition into broadcasting after his playing days further cemented his status as a beloved figure in baseball, particularly within the Detroit Tigers community.
11:16 🎭 Rube Waddell: Baseball's Enigmatic Showman 🎭
Rube Waddell's induction into the Hall of Fame in 1946 celebrated not just a spectacular pitching career but also one of the most vibrant personalities in baseball history. Known for his eccentric behavior and formidable pitching skills, Waddell was a fan favorite and a headline-maker, leading the American League in strikeouts for six consecutive seasons. His larger-than-life persona and unmatched talent on the mound made him a legend in every sense of the word.
13:17 🌟 Ed Delahanty: Tragic Brilliance 🌟
Ed Delahanty's mysterious death in 1903 added a mythic layer to his already impressive baseball career. With a batting average of .346 and multiple slugging titles, Delahanty was one of the most feared hitters of his time. His posthumous induction into the Hall of Fame in 1945 recognized his substantial contributions to baseball's early years, ensuring his story remains a captivating chapter in the sport’s history.

Clementee is a no brainer. Santo's came 30 years too late. He's still one of the best third baseman in Chicago. Still hope Munson gets in.

@INYB 26 дней назад

Munson certainly belongs

@DavidDykes-dm9lc 26 дней назад

The fact that Munson is not in the HOF is a travesty!!

Here in the Seattle area, Ron was a Legend! Franklin High School grad, he did much for his community! Fabulous guy!

I’m at Ron Santo before his passing, and I wholeheartedly supported his quest to be into the Hall of Fame. It’s just sad he had to pass away before the sportswriters realized his talent as a third baseman with the exception of Mike Schmidt. His numbers are equal to every other third baseman in the Hall of Fame so it was a tragedy that he could not enjoy the happiness of being elected while he was still alive. Cub vans will always remember Ron Santo.

Statistically, Ron Santo has been rated a top 5 third basemen of all time. He played many years on an amazing team with other HOF’ers Banks, Williams, and Jenkins, along with several other all-stars.

yeah, in 1960 l saw Ron Santos end the game with a Home Run in Wrigley! the next game, on Sunday, I saw Santos do the same thing in the 12th inning, and, needless to say, both games ended with a 'heels click'. do I have to tell ya, both games were played in the daytime! I also saw Roberto Clemente 'The Great One' play in Forbes Field in 1966.

Ron was a local legend here in the Seattle area. a Franklin High School grad, he worked tirelessly for his local community!

I read about Heilman years ago criticizing the writer for not putting him into the HOF when he was alive. It took him dying to make them realize what a great player he was.

@christopherneyfeldt4587 27 дней назад

I wish I could find the ones responsible for keeping Ron Santo out of Cooperstown when he was alive. Unfortunately I know of one and I never sat down to write him a letter and ask him why. It’s a shame because one of his teammates thought the world of Ron.

Roy Halladay, too. I see that someone else mentioned Addie Joss, for whom an exception to the 10-year rule was made when he died after having only played for 9 years. Many Negro League players are in this category.

@stephaniegormley9982 26 дней назад

0:25 That's true of all of them. You only get in the hall after being retired for 5 years.

@msnell326 26 дней назад

Addie Joss

Back when Santo was playing his heel clicking got under the skin of Mets pitcher Tom Seaver. So much so that Seaver got a number NY sportswriters to agree to not vote for Santo for the HOF. That's why Santo was not elected until after his death. I have always despised Seaver because of his actions.

@davidmitchell6873 24 дня назад

Is there somewhere I can read the history on this? I've never heard this before. I'm not saying you're wrong but it seems really petty on Seavers part.

@ron88303 26 дней назад

People interested should read how the HOF voting is done and who gets to vote. It's definitely not a hard science, and while I agree with the majority of their selections, IMO they've made more than a few errors in who they let in and who they kept out.
