Before he became a Hall of Fame contender as one of the best
third-basemen in history, Ron Santo toiled as a groundkeeper, a
batboy, and an usher for Seattle's PAcific Coast League team. But
sweet success came along soon enough, says Santo. "Vada Pinson, who
was a great ballplayer for the Reds, used to come by, and I'd shine
his shoes. He went to the majors in 1958, and by 1960, I was in the
big leagues, so I went from shining his shoes to playing against him
in just two years."  Santo put away his shoeshine kit when the Chicago
Cubs drafted him in  1960, and he played for them through 1973. Over
his 13 years with the  club, he won five Rawlings Gold Glove awards and
racked up 337 home  runs, the third-highest total in Cubs history.
Thes days Santo spends his ballpark time in the broadcast booth  rather
than the dugout, as the Cubs play-by-play analyst. "It's a lot  easier
up where I am now than it is down on the field."  When Santo isn't on
the air, he's in the kitchen of his restaurant and  sports bar, Ron
Santo's American Rotisserie, which specializes in  chicken, ribs,
steaks, and pasta. "I eat there every night with my  wife, and the
waiters and waitresses will come over and say, 'They'd  like to see you
at that table over there for an autograph.' I  designed a baseball card
for the restaurant with a picture of me in a  suit on the back and a
picture of me in a baseball uniform on the  front. It gives all my
stats. My customers eat it up."  That is, when they're not devouring
his Linguine with Clam Sauce.  In a bowl, dissolve clam base in
reserved juice from canned clams. In  large saucepan, heat olive oil
until sizzling. Saute onions,  mushrooms, basil and garlic. Add butter
and cayenne. Stir in  tomatoes, wine and clams in base mixture, and
cook for 3-4 minutes.  Cook linguine until it is AL DENTE; drain well.
Top with sauce.
