A national hero entered the fray of Major League Baseball.
Belted two late homers of the invincible Bruce Sutter.
The greatest game ever on Saturday, June 23rd, 1984.
a riveting national broadcast and the announcers were giddy.
An MVP of epic proportions.
A near flawless fielder and golden glove many times.
Such a fine gentleman, and exuded the behavior of the perfect person.
Exemplified exact leadership and respected the game completely.
People forgot that he won the home run derby in 1990 at Wrigley Field.
A gracious man and even-keeled always.
Perfection was his motto.
The great ones are headed for sainthood.
A fun power hitter and belted many on Waveland Avenue.
Retired early and came back.
Greeted fandom accordingly.
in retirement, he was affable to the extreme.
Sadly succumbed to aggressive prostate cancer.
Mr. Sandberg, you were awesome in every way forever.
Rest in peace, Ryno.
