I struggled many times when maybe it didn't look like I was struggling, and I had to work hard every day.
From Ryne Sandberg
My wife Margaret is the best thing that's ever happened to me.
I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special.
At my growing years of 18 to 21 years old in the Minor Leagues, I dreamed of being a Philadelphia Phillie.
I was taught coming up in the Phillies organization to be seen and not heard by people like Pete Rose, my hero growing up, and players like Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton and Manny Trillo.
I don't expect any red carpet to the big leagues. If the opportunity comes, then it comes. But I don't think I'm owed anything.
The reason I am here, they tell me, is that I played the game a certain way, that I played the game the way it was supposed to be played.
The fourth major league game I ever saw in person, I was in uniform.
There was Shawon Dunston and Mark Grace, and together we were a double play combination for ten years.
I had to prepare physically every day, and I didn't leave many scraps for the writers.
