The legendary second baseman lost his battle with cancer after it returned and spread this winter.
In the recent homestand, Chicago Cubs legends paid homage to Ryne Sandberg, with former players like Jon Lester and Kerry Wood donning #23 jerseys at Wrigley Field - and on Monday night, the team announced the tragic passing of the Hall of Famer.
Sandberg, 65, had been battling cancer for years - and after it returned last winter, he announced that it had spread to other parts of his body.
