Santo elected to Hall of Fame by veterans panel (AP)
Ron Santo always kept rooting for the causes dearest to him -- for his Chicago Cubs to win the World Series, for doctors to find a cure for diabetes and for him to reach the Hall of Fame.

The barrel-chested third baseman who clicked his heels in victory was elected to the Hall, overwhelmingly chosen by the Veterans Committee nearly a year to the day...
Phils lose 8th straight, longest skid in 11 years (AP)
With nothing left to play for in the regular season, the Philadelphia Phillies are playing as if they have nothing left. Manager Charlie Manuel isn't sure how to fix it.
