Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg had an idea of what might be coming . He’d seen the empty spots in “Statue Row” outside of Wrigley Field. But when he took his seat in the audience of the Ricketts Family panel at Cubs Convention on Saturday, he wasn’t expecting the announcement.

“We do want to announce that our next statue is in progress,” chairman Tom Rickets said from the Sheraton Grand Chicago ballroom stage.
