Ron Santo in and Johnny Evers out????
Unfriggingbelievable. The Crab not only was a great player with the Cubs, he put the woeful Boston Braves on his back in 1914 and led them to a world title (their only one). He was a great fielder, very good hitter, but more importantly one of the most intelligent on the field ballplayers of his era. He and Eddie Collins in the AL were the stellar second basemen of their era and both deserve to be in the Hall.
Santo was a very good player but in his era he was hardly the equal of Evers in his.
