I was a huge Cubs fan when I was a kid through my 30s which included the time Ryno was there. He was the hero of probably the most memorable baseball game I ever watched, summer of '83 when I was in college, Cubs vs Cards, extra innings, a legendary game. Sandberg Game - Wikipedia

He played the game the way it should be played, both exceling in his exploits while doing so
humbly and with reverence for the institution itself.
From all accounts, he lived the same way.
Kids need a hero? There just went one, right there. RIP.

Thanks a bunch, Mario!!!
Hard to believe it as he seemed so promising in combating that FOOKING Cancer SH*T!!! And a true Baseball Hall of Fame, Ambassador of the game. As so many here know, I have been a die-hard Cub Fan since I was old enough for my first game with my Pops. It stuck and has been with me ever since. And my brothers are also of that mindset, too!!! I watched him perform fantastic feats in the field and with his bat that still remind me as if it were just yesterday, on WGN TV. His statue outside will forever remind all of us, and future fans, of this once-great infielder and ball player....RIP Ryno...You will be missed...

RIP Ryne
A class act. Gone too soon. Hope he’s able to have a chat up there with my mother. She was from Chicago north side moving to WI in 1950 when my dad was transferred here. For decades she dreamed of the Cubs winning the WS. She either watched or listened to every game she could, knew all about the players, stats, etc. season after next. Her WI vanity plate CUBEAR. Lol, I wanted to cover it when using her ride.
Go figure, she passed away in Dec 2015 and what did the Cubs do the very next season? Too odd.

Same with my Pops Ron. He always dreamed and wished for a Cubs WS in his lifetime, but sadly did not live to see it. Yet through his love for the team and passing that onto his sons, his three remaining 3 were able to experience that win and what a great win it was!!! cr8crshr/Bill
That’s a great story! Yeah, watching the Cubs make the WS, constantly had my mother in mind, not sure whether to have joy or sorrow for her. Lol, family joking had us thinking maybe she had some ‘pull’ from above, as well your dad! IMO, who knows one way or the other? I sure don’t, but the thought of the possibility is nice...Same with my Pops Ron. He always dreamed and wished for a Cubs WS in his lifetime, but sadly did not live to see it.
