I have been in the car for about seven hours today after commuting to and from Wrigley to view Ryne Sandberg‘s celebration of life with a bunch of other Cubs fans.

• Friday Rockpile: The trade deadline has come and gone, but are the Rockies better off?

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Colorado Rockies news and links for Friday, August 1, 2025 Considering the Colorado Rockies’ history of making few significant moves at the trade deadline, even as they are miles away from even dreaming of contending, Colorado continued to play it low-key as the trade deadline came and went this season.

They’re 54-55, a game under .500 with only 53 to play. Not great. They’re also 9th in the league - they’re closer to the bottom of the league than the top. Again, not good.

Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images The Cubs avoid a sweep with a 10-3 win ahead of the trade deadline. Phew. That was a cathartic win. You could feel the tension building in Chicago and throughout Cubs Nation. I mean, way back in game number 72, the Cubs reached 18 games over .500. Here they are 36 games later at that same mark.

2025
"Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg said he is "continuing to fight" cancer and is prioritizing time with those closest to him."

2024
"Others who were on the original list of players scheduled to be at the convention who didn’t make it due to weather were Ben Zobrist, Ryne Sandberg, Shawon Dunston and Les Lancaster."

2023
"Gold Glove Award winner for the first time in his career and is just the fifth Cubs second baseman to earn the honor, joining Ken Hubbs (1962), Glenn Beckert (1968), Ryne Sandberg (1984-91) and Darwin Barney (2012)."

2022
"Future Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg got an entire pregame tribute ceremony before his last home game September 21, 1997, and then got more ovations when he was lifted for a pinch-runner after a fifth-inning double that afternoon: If only all great Cubs could wrap careers that way."

2017
"Well, it turns out that the players were headed out there to head up to the center field scoreboard and raise the championship banner themselves: The Cubs also had Hall of Famers Ryne Sandberg (1907 WS banner), Fergie Jenkins (1908 WS banner), and Billy Williams (2016 NL Pennant) raise other banners: The banner raising was followed by Anthony Rizzo carrying the World Series trophy as he led his teammates back out to the field: The ceremonies were actually delayed two hours by rain, and now an NL"

2016
"Ryne Sandberg rejoined the Cubs as an ambassador to the team, and the best thing about the new deal, the Hall of Famer said, was that he's back "home."

2015
" The abysmal 2015 season has seen the firing of general manager Ruben Amaro and resignation of manager Ryne Sandberg."

2014
"He also will become only the third man ever to begin his managerial career after being inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player, following Ted Williams and Ryne Sandberg."

I picked up this card on Friday. Ryne Sandberg passed away Monday. I was not a kid when Sandberg was starring for the Cubs.
