Obviously not a Cubs fan, eh? Sandberg was a nine-time Gold Glove second baseman and a 10-time All-Star. He hit 277 homers, the most by a second baseman at the time of his retirement, and led the NL with 40 in 1990. His .989 fielding percentage is the highest at the position.

Well, I am, and let's be honest for a moment - Ryno was a heck of a fielder, but he was a lightweight at the plate.

I don't think so. Ever hear of Rogers Hornsby?

Sandberg was one of the best second basemen to EVER play the game.

Sandberg was a class act. As a Mets fan, I always appreciated his play.
