Last night, the Cubs unveiled a new Ron Santo statue to honor the Cubs former 3rd baseman. All of Cubs Nation felt the loss when Ronnie passed away, so last night was emotional. I didn't get to see the unveiling ceremony, but throughout the game, they played parts of it and also played clips of Ron during his playing days. I'll admit, I got a little teary-eyed. They interviewed his family and OMG, his son Ron Jr. is the spitting image of him! What a great night to honor the man that undoubtedly is/was the world's biggest Cubs fan.
It was a perfect night too-perfect weather and Ron's beloved Cubbies actually won. Even more significant? They got 10 hits. Ron was #10. Tell me he wasn't loving that!
