Chris CountsWho would you rather have on your team? A .270-hitting first baseman with good power, or one of the greatest third basemen ever. There are dozens of guys who did what Hodges did, only better. But how many third basemen could hit for power, draw walks and play great third base? I'd take Santo over Brooks Robinson any day, and I love Brooks. HOF third basemen George Kell and Fred Lindstrom aren't even in Santo's league. And there are far fewer third basemen in the HOF than any other position. While many collectors rant about grading companies and auction houses, I prefer to rant about the HOF. Isn't tomorrow the big day? Hopefully, the Veterans' Committee will give me something to cheer about this year. C'mon Minnie!
