During the seventh inning of tonight’s game, it was announced that Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg had passed away. Regardless of which team you root for, Sandberg was a pillar of Chicago sports and a great player, as well as a genuinely great person. Baseball lost an incredible talent, and he will be deeply missed. Our heartfelt condolences go out to our Cubs fan friends tonight.
And, since one our own was just inducted into the Hall of Fame Sunday, it seems like a good time to share Sandberg’s incredible speech upon his induction.
