Ryne Sandberg played second base and spent 15-years with the Chicago Cubs. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005 and the team retired his number 23 jersey that same year. The Chicago Cubs will now honor Sandberg for the rest of the season with a special jersey patch.
Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said Ryne Sandberg “will be remembered as one of the all-time greats in nearly 150 years of this historic franchise.”
Ryne Sandberg, who played 15 seasons with the Cubs, passed away at his home Monday after a battle with cancer. He was 65.
