Durbin Statement on Hall of Famer Ron Santo

[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today released the following statement after learning that Chicago Cubs legend, Ron Santo, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame:

“To all of us who continue inspired by his work on and off the field, Ron Santo has always been a Hall of Famer.  Today, it is official. 

“There is little doubt that Ron Santo was the best third baseman in Cubs history and one of the best to ever play the game.  But what made him legendary was his loyalty and devotion to one city, one team and its fans.   It’s a great day to be a Cubs fan.”
