Former Chicago Cubs outfielder Matt Szczur paid homage to team icon Ryne Sandberg via a unique means: art.
Since retiring, Szczur has built up a following on Instagram (125,000 followers) and TikTok (19,200 followers) posting, among other things, videos of himself painting. His most recent project was a tribute to Sandberg, a Hall of Fame Cubs infielder who died on Monday at 65 years old.
