Ron Santo Statue Sneak Peek

The Old Cub will forever stand at Wrigley Field...

A few workers have installed a nice banner and what looks to be a dandy statue for our old pal, Ron Santo, who passed last December. Ernie and Billy already have have their statues - both with the Cubs greats up to bat. But Ronnie is captured in this here statue playing defense - forever frozen firing the ball across the diamond from third.

The dedication ceremony will be held before Wednesday's game against the Washington Nationals at 5:30 pm

Some Inside Scoop Into Ron Santo's Statue

The late Ron Santo's statue will be dedicated outside of his beloved Wrigley Field on August 10th, 2011. The Cubs haven't said too much about the statue, but we believe we have at least found out where Ron's likeness will go.

You see, while "roadies" were hard at work turning Wrigley Field into a rock-n-roll stadium for this week's Paul McCartney show, a few Cubs folks were also hard at working pouring concrete. Now that the post-concert dust has settled, there is a statue sized square of concrete right near the Billy Williams statue. The one that went in just this last year. 

One would suppose that Ron Santo's statue will takes its place right here, right next to his old buddy.
