When is Ron Santo going to shut up?

ESPN.com: Santo: Hall veterans' vote needs change

Enough already, Ron. You feel you should be in the baseball Hall of Fame. We get it, message received. We have been receiving that very same message from the very first day you retired, more so starting the very first day you became a broadcaster.

I have news for you, Ron: it is unseemly to campaign to be included in any group that is deemed to be the best at anything. When you're a broadcaster, it's even more so because you have a pulpit that others who (gasp!) might be truly more deserving than you don't have.

Ron, you're basically telling the HOF voters: 'You clowns don't know baseball greatness when you see it and I'm just the guy to point it out to you... and by the way, I'm THE prime example of greatness you are overlooking'.

Earth to Ron: you're not helping yourself. No one likes to be told (1) how to do their job and (2) that you deserve to belong in their club. Especially in the papers.

Maybe the big problem isn't how the HOF elects post-WWII players. Maybe the problem is that, Ron, you just aren't HOF material. How do we know? Because they people who define HOF material are saying so.
