I'll stop here tonight with Santo hitting 600th home run. You'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out if Ted William's curse works and prevents Santo from reaching my magical number of 618. I will say something happens very soon that would make me question my loyalty to the Cubs if I was a Cubs fan. Left me very
I have a feeling I know what's about to happen to Santo...

I'm a HUGE Ted Williams fan, because he was my dad's favorite player growing up. Still, I was a big Santo fan myself, because I had a Ron Santo model glove and played third when I was a kid.
