Santo was nothing fancy but meant everything to Cubs broadcasts

From Chicago-

When Cubs radio analyst Ron Santo died Friday at age 70, it triggered a memory of an old "Seinfeld" rerun.

"Maybe I could be like an announcer. Like a color man," George Costanza said. "You know how I always make those interesting comments during the game?"

While humoring his newly unemployed pal by agreeing that he did indeed make good comments, Jerry felt compelled to point out a simple truth.

"Well," he said, as if explaining to a child that people are different from birds, "they generally give those jobs to ex-ballplayers and people that are, you know, in broadcasting."

"Well, that's really not fair," George said, wounded, a response that still gets a smile of recognition from plenty of "Seinfeld" viewers every time it's shown.
