Hard to put into words what Ryne Sandberg has meant to the game, to the Cubs, and to so many of us who grew up watching him play the game the right way. A true legend both on and off the field.

I’ve been lucky enough to meet Ryne a few times throughout my life, and every time he was kind, humble, and gracious - just as you’d hope your childhood hero would be.

This year on Opening Day, as fate would have it, we crossed paths again. As we were both walking out of Wrigley, I gave him a fist bump. It was a small moment, but one that meant the world to me. I never imagined it would be the last time I’d see him in person.

Thank you, Ryno, for the years of memories. You’ll always be #23 in our hearts. 💙⚾️

It took 4 long years, but I have finally completed my collection of the 2016 World Series 25 man roster signed baseballs. Luckily still makes these baseballs, otherwise this would have been even more difficult to complete.
13 of them were signed in person at various signings, or at Spring Training. 5 of them were done at signings I could not attend. And the rest we’re purchased through reputable companies such as or through shops that have done signings with the players in the past. I was also able to obtain some of the front office and radio personalities in person. Now to move onto the coaching staff and non WS roster.
