Plot: There's plenty of fight left in This Old Cub… that's the story of a new documentary feature about former All-Star third baseman, 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 professional baseball with Type One Juvenile Diabetes (insulin dependent). 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 known about how to regulate insulin levels, Santo rarely missed a game—taking injections and chocolate bars based on how he felt from moment to moment. The film was shot over a span of nine months, as Santo was recovering from having his second leg amputated due to complications from the disease he has been fighting for more than forty-five years. It documents Santo's rehab and recovery from a devastating operation to his return to WGN Radio as broadcaster for the Cubs. This film also goes back in time to tell the story of Santo's fabled career as a nine-time All-Star third baseman and five time Gold Glove winner, and the incredible story of the 1969 season, when the "miracle Mets" came from nowhere to swipe the pennant from a Cubs team that is commonly thought of as one of the great
