Cubs Reveal Special Ryne Sandberg Tribute Jerseys To Be Worn Saturday

It is an awesome thing Chicago is doing for Sandberg, who was one of the most productive players in franchise history and earned a spot in the Hall of Fame as part of the 2005 class.

A look back at Sandberg's career

The National League MVP in 1984, he led the MLB with 19 triples that season and had the highest bWAR in the NL with an 8.5. He recorded a slash line of .314/.367/.520 with 19 home runs, 36 doubles, 84 RBI and 32 stolen bases.

Sandberg played all but 13 of the 2,164 games of his Major League career with the Cubs. He made his debut in 1981 with the Philadelphia Phillies, appearing in 13 contests before he was traded, along with Larry Bowa, in exchange for Ivan de Jesus.

It was a deal Chicago won handily, with the star second baseman getting the job done at the plate and with the glove defensively.

He was a 10-time All-Star, won nine Gold Glove Awards and seven Silver Sluggers as one of the best two-way players of his time.

For his career, Sandberg had a .285/.344/.452 slash line with 282 home runs, 403 doubles, 76 triples, 1,061 RBI and 344 stolen bases.
