Postgame after Game 6 of the World Series. At the end of the show, Ryne said to us “I’ll be here tomorrow for pre-game. But, when we win the World Series I’m celebrating w/the team.” And he said it with confidence. R.I.P. Ryno. You were a Hall of Famer in every way. ❤️❤️

Ryno: one of the great HOF induction speeches. "Make a great play -- act like you’ve done it before...Hit a home run -- put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases..." RIP and thanks for all of it. youtu.be/RuxyTRfqCJU?si… via YouTube

Hall of Famer and Cubs stalwart Ryne Sandberg wasn’t just a great baseball player – he was a class act who never cheated the game. Everyone in Chicago – including White Sox fans – will miss him deeply.

I knew the song and lyrics but had never seen him perform it, devilishly enjoying it !! There really ought to be a Hall of Fame for GREAT American songwriters - that would have Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Yip Harburg, Cole Porter, Lorenz Hart, Stephen Sondheim, Tom Waits, Bob
