An appreciation of Ron Santo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Welcome to the Chicago Herald-American, a weblog founded, written,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], edited, produced and directed by Chicago Sun-Times reporter/copy editor Mark Potash. A Chicago native and graduate of Niles West High School in Skokie,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ill. and the University of Missouri-Columbia, Mark is a veteran of three newspaper wars, with a record of 1-1-1 -- winning with the Arkansas Democrat (Little Rock,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ark.), losing with the St. Louis Globe-Democrat and fighting the good fight with the Sun-Times since 1987.

The Cubs honored Ron Santo this week on the 50th anniversary of his debut in 1960. But it's Carlos Zambrano who enhanced my appreciation for the Cubs' longtime third baseman more than any ceremony,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Santo played with emotion and intensity, but much less selfishly than Zambrano. Santo had a will to succeed but a passion for winning. Zambrano has a will to win but a passion for Carlos Zambrano.
His latest blowup was a typically selfish act -- showing up Derrek Lee because his inability to dive for a double down the first-base line cost him a run. Most of his emotional incidents come when he's having a bad year or playing poorly or when somebody's misplay costs him an earned run,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Santo had his moments, too. But his most memorable incident was born of frustration over losing a game: the Don Young incident.
On July 8,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 1969,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the first-place Cubs and Fergie Jenkins were leading the Mets 3-1 in the ninth inning at Shea Stadium when Young misplayed one fly ball into a double and had another fly ball fall out of his glove as he raced back to the wall. The Mets scored three runs and won 4-3. It was the Cubs' fourth straight loss and the Mets' fifth straight win to get them within 4 1/2 games of first place.
The Cubs were feeling the heat and Santo, the team captain, didn't help when he publicly criticized Young for -- ironically -- letting his emotions and his offensive struggles get the best of him. "He was thinking of himself, not the team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Santo told reporters after the game. "He had a bad day at the plate, and he's got his head down. Don's a major-league player because of his glove. When he hits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's a dividend, but when he fails on defense,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he's lost -- and today he took us down with him. He put his head between his legs."
Santo's comments created a backlash that only aggravated the situation. He was ripped for publicly criticizing a rookie in the heat of a pennant race,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. But he came to his senses quickly. He had already given his personal apology to Young that morning."
"What I said, I did not mean," Santo said. "Don being upset, upset me. I am convinced that his not hitting caused him to put his head down between his knees and forget we had a 3-1 lead. I know this is true because it has happened to me. I have fought myself when I wasn't hitting and, as a result,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], messed up in the field.
"But I know I was wrong. Don has to be a great competitor to get as mad at himself as he did and to leave the clubhouse as quickly as he did. This was not good, and I said what I did because he had walked out. I want every one to know my complete sincerity in this apology."
Santo's culpability in the Don Young incident is often cited as one of the contributing factors to the demise of the '69 Cubs. And no doubt it had an impact. Santo was booed by fans at Wrigley Field when the Cubs returned home. But the fact of the matter is that after losing to the Mets the following day, the Cubs went 18-8 over the next month to rebuild an 8-1/2 game lead in the NL East. It was only then that things fell apart so traumatically.
Santo had let his emotions get the best of him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but hardly for selfish reasons. He was hitting .299 with 16 homers and 74 RBI at the time. He played with an emotion and passion that he couldn't always control. But he always had the Cubs at heart. Thank you, Carlos Zambrano, for reminding me of that.
