Happy Anniversary Hall of Famer Ron Santo

Seven years ago today Ron Santo was posthumously enshrined in Cooperstown.  Maybe I'll have a Snickers in his honor.

This image (not an exact replica) is a little weird.
The real one.

Do you ever find youself appreciating the packaging as much as the actual collectible.  
This is my all-time favorite  image of Ron.  I have a framed colorized copy hanging on a wall in my house.


This is the favorite collectible I own.

  1. That's a pretty cool SGA... even if the face is a little off. I was happy to finally cross Santo off my autograph wantlist earlier this year. Did you get your Santo autograph in person?

    1. It was TTM just after he retired when he was working for Torco Oil. I have a signed Sporting News cover as well which is hanging on my wall. All in all I think I have over 100 of Ron's signatures. Most are certified card releases with a smattering of other items. I never got to meet him.

    2. Over 100? Now that's what I call a collection. I collect autographs, but don't think I have more than 50 of any single player. In fact... I'm trying to think which player I even have 30 autographs of.

  2. He looks so young and happy in that picture! 100+ autos is very impressive! My Santo autos are some of my most cherished in my collection.

    1. It's my favorite photo. So much so that I bought a colorized 8 x 10 and framed it. There's a Goudy certified auto that uses it as well, and yes I have one.

  3. True story, I'm one of the people who have benefited from Dr. Ogbeifun Love Spell. Dr. Ogbeifun appeared in the middle of my life when all hope was lost. I gave up on life and thought the best way to care for my broken heart. I have several experiences with my husband who have been working with me for many years. I made up my mind to continue with my suicide before a strange spirit. Afterwards, Dr. Ogbeifun Temple, I reluctantly looked for and found testimonials and recommendations for him via his email. He answered and asked me to go away and take my life; he said that my case is solvable after consulting his Oracle. Well, here I am today thanking Dr. Ogbeifun for saving my life and bringing back my Husband. We are so happy today and happier than we have ever been. He also helped me stop my cardiac arrest problem. I am grateful for being among the people sharing this testimony.
