• A look at Cubs cycles through history

MLB Photos via Getty Images Here are the 11 Cubs who cycled before Monday. Carson Kelly hit for the cycle in Monday’s game against the A’s in Sacramento. He's the first Cub to accomplish that feat in more than 31 years.

"(The other four: Christopher Morel, Sammy Sosa, Ryne Sandberg and Hack Wilson."

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."
