Happy # 65 Ryne Sandberg

We say happy birthday to Ryne Sandberg, one of the very best players of the last 50 years.   He was born in Spokane, Washington, on this day in 1959.

Ryan broke with the Phillies in 1981 but was traded to the Cubs in the off season.    He spent the next 16 years in Chicago:    .285, 2,306 hits, 282 HR & 1,061 RBI over 2,164 games.    

In 1984, Sandberg was the NL MVP leading to the Cubs to the post season.    He was elected to The Hall of Fame in 2005.
