I am very sad to read of Sandberg’s death. He was still a young man. Cancer has a long reach - as sports fans/observers might see today.
Ryne Sandberg, a Hall of Fame second baseman who redefined the position with a rare blend of power, speed and defense during his 15-year Chicago Cubs career, died Monday at age 65.

He passed away surrounded by family at his home in Illinois, the Cubs announced.
