Ryne Sandberg meant so much to Cubs fans and the City of Chicago that it’s impossible to think of him as just a baseball player. WGN's Dana Rebik reports from outside Wrigley Field. More info:

Ryne Sandberg, a Hall of Fame second baseman who became one of baseball’s best all-around players while starring for the Chicago Cubs, has died.

Sandberg played 16 MLB seasons for the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs and was a 10-time All-Star, one-time MVP, nine-time Gold Glover and seven-time Silver Slugger.

"Jed and his baseball operations staff have built a healthy player development organization and put an exciting, playoff contending team on the field," he said.
