Barry Larkin and Ron Santo were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York on Sunday.
After wiping away tears as his teenage daughter sang the national anthem, Larkin began a litany of thank-yous to the important people who helped him along his journey.
"If we were going to do something, we were going to do it right," said Larkin, currently a baseball analyst for ESPN. "Growing up, you challenged me. That was so instrumental."
Ron Santo didn't live to experience the day he always dreamed of. Plagued by health problems, he died Dec. 3, 2010, at the age of 70.
"It just feels right, a perfect ending to a remarkable journey," Vicki Santo said. "Ron left an awful hole for many of us today. This is not a sad day. This is a great day. I'm certain that Ronnie is celebrating right now."
