The great Chicago Cubs infielder Ryne Sandberg died at the age of 65. Sandberg, a Baseball Hall of Famer, had battled prostate cancer.

Chicago Cubs legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg died this week at the age of 65 after a battle with prostate cancer. Once his death was announced on Monday night, his fellow Hall of Famers, and the rest of the baseball community, took time to react and reflect.

“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,” Obama posted on X. “Everyone in Chicago — including White Sox fans — will miss him deeply.”
