T is for This Year
You Tube A TO Z
T is for This Year
One of the things I like best about You Tube are some of the cover contests that are conducted using it. For example, at the beginning of 2015 One of my favorite artists released this song on video.
She also announced a contest asking for people sending their covers of her song in. I watched a couple dozen of these and this one was my favorite.

R is for Ron
Cubs Home run hitters from Aramis to Zimmerman
Cubs, White Sox
Ron Santo
Cubs, White Sox
I may be the only person who liked it when Ron Santo came to the White Sox for his final season in 1974. I was a kid,I had just switched alliances from the Cubs to the Sox and one of my favorite Cubbies was coming to the South Side.
The person who liked the arrangement the least was probably Santo himself . He wanted and thought he deserved to retire as a Cub. When the Cubs let him go he opted to go play for the Chi-Sox, as he had thought he had more in the tank.
As it turns out he had very little left in the tank and had an abysmal year. Instead of focusing on his unhappy ending, I prefer to look back at the amazing things he did as a Cub.
Santo hit 337 of his 342 career homers for the Cubs. He averaged 30 homers per season between 1964 and 1968. During that same 5 year span he also had 5 consecutive gold glove awards so he was definitely a stellar offensive and defensive player.
