Today, Representative Quigley delivered the following remarks on the House floor.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember Ron Santo, a Cubs legend and legendary Cubs fan. Ron passed away last week after a courageous fight against bladder cancer. He was 70 years old. For 14 years, he patrolled the hot corner at Wrigley Field. He was a nine-time All-Star, won five Gold Gloves, and hit 342 home runs. But Ron was never a numbers guy. On the field and for 20 years in the broadcast booth, his joy, devotion, and eternal optimism embodied the best of the Cubs. Whether he was clicking his heels behind third base or leading the fight against juvenile diabetes, he wore his heart on his sleeve and smile on his face. Ron will be missed by everyone whoever watched him play, heard his voice on the radio, or was touched by his philanthropy and kind heart. Let us hope that one day soon he will take his rightful place alongside baseball’s immortals in Cooperstown, because Ron Santo belongs in the hall of fame. Thank you, and I yield back.
