RIP Ryne Sandberg.
My Sandberg story goes like this; My new daughter-in-law (she was my sons g- friend at the time) got a job with the Cubs Charity. Her first day, she got on the elevator and there was a "guy" already on it. She went to push the button for the floor and saw it was already lit. She said something like "oh, you work for the Cubs Charity?" The guy said "Yes, I'm Ryne Sandberg" She introduced herself and asked him how long he's worker for the Cubs. He explained he's been with the Cubs for years, played for them and was in the Hall of Fame. Now, my DIL knew absolutely nothing about baseball at this he time so she replied "that's nice." When she got home and told my son about meeting an ex-player, he freaked out in amazement. Pulled up the Sandberg page on the internet and quickly educated her on how great of a player he was.
I bet Chicago is in mourning. He was very much loved.
