I was born in Chicago, but raised in the Bay Area as a Giants fan. I know my Cub fan relatives who still live there are pretty bummed today since Sandberg was a true legend to that franchise.

  1. Because of WGN I watched a lot of Cubs games as a kid after my family moved away from the Bay Area and I couldn’t see the Giants nearly as often anymore. That meant I got to see a lot of Ryne Sandberg. He was a good player, fun to watch, and I’m glad he got to have a good life. Surprising to see him go that young, though. 

  2. My all time favorite player. I remember feeling bad rooting against him in the 89 NLCS. RIP Ryno.
