The Cubs plan to honor Ron Santo with a statue at Wrigley Field.
The statue, just the fourth of its kind, will be unveiled on Aug. 10 before a game against the Nationals.
The Cubs will also wear a special patch throughout the 2011 season commemorating Santo, who passed away on Dec. 3 at age 70.
"Ron Santo will always be remembered as an extraordinary player, as the ultimate Cub fan and for his tireless commitment towards juvenile diabetes research," Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said.
"On behalf of the Cubs' organization, we are proud to honor Ron Santo with a statue of his likeness at Wrigley Field, so that future generations can remember his remarkable legacy on and off the field."
