The 20 greatest home runs in Cubs history, No. 5: Ryne Sandberg, June 23, 1984

Once again, I present to you an entry in this series that honors two different home runs. This time, I’m not going to make you pick between them, because both were extremely important in the context of the game. (If you really want to force me to pick, the second one was obviously bigger, because it came with two out and a two-run deficit.)

A little additional context is required to understand just how important the two home runs Ryne Sandberg hit in a 12-11, 11-inning win over the Cardinals June 23, 1984 were.
