Cubs legend Ron Santo, one of the greatest third-basemen of all time and without a doubt the Heart and Soul of the Chicago Cubs dies last night at age 70. I wish I had more time to write a longer post about Ronnie and maybe I will later but for right now I'll provide you with some links of what other writers are saying about This Old Cub.

"This Old Cub" theatrical trailer, this one makes me cry
I can't even imagine how different next year's radio broadcasts will be. I loved listening to Ron and Pat on WGN, it will never be the same. I've never met Ron Santo but I feel like I've known him my whole life.
