He received 39 votes and needed 48. It has become a ritual of agony for Ron Santo and his legion of supporters. Former Cubs third baseman Ron Santo came closest but fell nine votes short. Ron Santo is out yet again. 1943 ballot but fell far short with just 39 votes. getter was Ron Santo (39 votes, 60.9 percent). Former Cubs third baseman, Ron Santo, came closest, named on 39 ballots (60.9 percent). Ron Santo, le regretté Gil Hodges et Joe Torre n'ont pas obtenu le pourcentage de 75 pour cent requis pour être intronisés à Cooperstown. Former Cub great Ron Santo came closest with 39 votes, nine short of the 48 needed for election. Will Ron Santo finally get in? Then, Gregg Maddux will announce his retirement, which leads my to my favorite Gregg Maddux story. Ron Santo will find out today whether he gets into the Hall of Fame by virtue of the Veteran's Committee balloting. just to allow him to sleep a little better. 1942 ballot include Joe Torre, Ron Santo, Dick Allen, Jim Kaat and Gil Hodges.
