Celebrate the career of Mr. Cub himself, the captain and greatest third baseman in the history of Chicago baseball, Ron Santo! Written and directed by his son, Jeff Santo, this amazing DVD gives you an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the life and career of the inspirational Chicago legend, tracking his progress from childhood in Seattle, to his signing with the Cubs in 1959, to his earning the captaincy in 1964, to his amazing all-around play for the slowly-improving squads, to the excitement, passion, and ultimate disastrous disappointment in 1969, to his retirement, career as a broadcaster, and his battle with diabetes that he has battled with ultimate dignity and poise.
