RIP Ronnie

I was not prepared to see this news this morning, as I opened up a browser with my first cup of coffee. It hit me like a punch to the chest. All-time Chicago Cub great Ron Santo passed away at the age of 70. While I am too young to have ever had the chance to see him play, I am well familiar with Santo's play-by-play for the Cubs radio team over the last two decades, not to mention his long and ultimately futile effort to gain entry into the Hall of Fame. In my estimation, he's a Hall-of-Famer anyway.

Rest in peace, Ron.
