Chicago Cubs: Nothing stands test of time like the Ryne Sandberg game

Wednesday marks the anniversary of what I think is the greatest Chicago Cubs game ever. It was June 23,1984. I was fortunate enough to watch it live. I say this because back in the day, pre-cable, when, since I lived in Arizona, the only chance I had to see the Cubs play was if they were on the ‘Game of the Week’.

By some fortunate alignment of the stars, on this particular Saturday, the powers at NBC decreed that the game between the Cardinals and Cubs in Chicago would be that game.
