Brock and Santo Linked Together Again

Ron Santo was a lifelong diabetic.  His health was certainly compromised for his entire 70 years on Earth.  I didn't realize that Lou Brock was diagnosed with diabetes over 15 years ago.  Let's hope that Brock recovers quickly from his recent surgery.

Brock and Santo played together for three years with the Cubs.  I'm glad to be too young to remember the track that sent Brock to St. Louis.  There is already enough to suffer through for Cub fans.

The players were in the same Kellogg's sets twice - 1970 and 1973.

Brock stole 938 bases, leading the league 10 times in that category.  Santo stole 35 bases in his career while being caught 41 times.

Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins and Lou Brock?   I need to never think about that again.
