CUBS LEGEND Ryne Sandberg Has passed away at age 65!

The man nicknamed "Ryno", was an American professional baseball player, coach, and manager. He played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a second baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies (1981) and the Chicago Cubs (1982–1994, 1996–1997). After his playing career, Sandberg coached in the minor leagues for the Cubs and Phillies organizations. After briefly serving as a base coach for the Phillies, Sandberg became the manager of the Phillies in the middle of the 2013 season, serving in the role until his resignation in the middle of the 2015 season.

Honestly I don't think there was a better player at second in the majors than him. To be honest he's one of the top 5 second baseman to ever play the game and this week some of the biggest names in their sport or genra have passed. Another loss of a hero from the 80's to millions of people.

Born and raised in Spokane, Washington, Sandberg's parents were Elizabeth, a nurse, and Derwent D. "Sandy" Sandberg, a mortician. He was named for relief pitcher Ryne Duren. Sandberg was a three-sport star in high school at North Central and graduated in 1978. The previous fall, he was named to Parade's High School All-America football team, one of the eight quarterbacks, and one of two players from Washington. 

The school's baseball field was named in his honor in 1985 as "Ryne Sandberg Field", and his varsity number was retired in both football and baseball. Sandberg was recruited to play quarterback at NCAA Division I colleges, and eventually signed a letter of intent with Washington State University in Pullman. He opted not to attend after being selected in the 20th round of the 1978 baseball amateur draft by the Philadelphia Phillies.

In 2016, Sandberg joined the Cubs organization as a goodwill ambassador. In this position, he made public appearances at Cubs-related events, and attended Cubs games to meet and greet fans; he was an occasional color commentator for the team's telecasts on Marquee Sports Network.

Sandberg married his high-school sweetheart, Cindy, and the couple had two children, Justin and Lindsey. They divorced in July 1995. Sandberg married Margaret in August 1995. She has three children from her former marriage, B. R., Adriane, and Steven. He also had eight grandchildren. Ryne's nephew, Jared Sandberg, was a third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2001 to 2003.

In January 2024, Sandberg announced that he had begun treatment for metastatic prostate cancer. He died on July 28, 2025, at age 65. May he rest in peace and our condolences to his family. RIP

JUST IN: Illegal alien employed as a police officer in Maine! WTF?

WOW so this is mind blowing but looks like ICE ICE Baby just busted someone in a major way so follow this folks an Illegal alien employed as a police officer arrested! WTF? YEAH You read this right... So after trying to buy a gun. "The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic," Patricia Hyde, the Field Office Director for ICE Boston, told FOX News in a statement.

An attempted firearms purchase led to the arrest of a Jamaican citizen who the town of Old Orchard Beach had hired as a police officer, FOX News reported on Monday afternoon. Jon Luke Evans entered the U.S. legally in September 2023, but overstayed his visa, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) stated. He was due to return top Jamaica on October 1 of that year but never boarded his flight home.

The Maine Wire contacted the Old Orchard Beach Police Department seeking information about when Evans was hired, the status of his employment and what type of vetting the department employs in its hiring process, but it did not immediately respond. Evans was reportedly flagged by ICE when he applied tried to buy a gun for use on his job as a policeman, FOX’s Bill Melugin wrote. “The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien an unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comic if it weren’t so tragic,” ICE Boston Field Office Director Patricia Hyde said in a statement

“We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien. ICE Boston will continue to prioritize public safety by arresting and removing criminal alien threats from our New England communities,” Hyde continued. In April, ICE detained a Cumberland County corrections officer for overstaying his visa. Gratien Milandou-Wamba, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, had been working at the jail as a guard, but was in the U.S. illegally.
