@MatthewCappucci Matthew, think there might have been a tornado near Brookfield ~30ish minutes ago? Looked like a debris ball on CC but most likely contamination
@404rips@CardPurchaser As a bunt user, this is probably worth $3-5 to the right person. It’s a high CC for a legendary but Ohtani will always command a premium
@Spidersense14@BallParkBuzz 2nd base. I’m not sure if there’s clips online but their was one that was on the first few innings of the game Wednesday on a play that anyone in the crowd could have reasonably made
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg.
The beloved Cubs second baseman was a five-tool model of consistency in the 1980s and early ’90s, making 10 consecutive All-Star teams and winning 9 straight Gold Glove awards.
On June 23, 1984, a national TV audience watched Sandberg hit a pair of game-tying home runs in the 9th and 10th innings off Cardinals closer and future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter. Part of a magical Cubs Postseason run, the game is forever remembered in Chicago as “The Sandberg Game.” He went on to win the 1984 NL MVP Award.
Over 16 seasons, Sandberg slugged 282 home runs, 277 of which were as a second baseman, then a Major League record. He hit 25+ homers five times and stole 30+ bases five times.
Sandberg made his Major League debut with the Phillies in 1981 and later managed them for parts of three seasons.
On June 23, 2024, the 40th anniversary of his iconic moment, the Cubs unveiled a statue of Sandberg outside Wrigley Field.
Sandberg bravely battled cancer the last two years. He was 65.
