Legendary Cubs third baseman Ron Santo has to have another surgery. He had his right leg amputated below the knee last December and now they’re going to do his left leg, all due to diabetes.

On the bright side, this may build up some sympathy for Santo in the Hall of Fame veterans’ committee which will determine whether he is one of the men immortalized in Cooperstown. I’m sure the Hall of Fame is not worth losing two legs for. One leg — maybe.
