This Old Cub... An acclaimed documentery feature about former all-star third basemen, broadcaster, and Chicago Cubs legend Ron Santo and his lifelong battle with diabetes. Santo was the first and only major league position player to play proffesional baseball with type one juvenile diabetes. He played most of his career without revealing his disease for fear that he would be forced to retire from baseball. At a time when much less was know about how to regulate insulin levels, Santo rarely missed a game-taking injections and chocalate bars based on how he felt from moment to moment. This old cub captures the spirit of a man and his will to achieve. Ron Santo was a player who clicked his heels after every win, perfectly reflecting a time when players played for the love of the game. This is a man who handled everything with grace, humor, and not an ounce of bitterness. Santo is the ultimate optimist and therefore the ultimate cub.
