Cubs Legend Ryne Sandberg gives healthcare, thanks fans for the support

The Chicago Cubs and the MLB Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg went to his Instagram to deliver an update to his health on Wednesday morning:

To all of my fans and the extended baseball family –

I wanted to share an update regarding my health. There were some challenging months because I was treated regularly. As I continue to fight, I look forward to getting the best every day with my loving family and friends. I wasn't as much in Wrigley Field as I was hoping in the first half, but I look at every game and look forward to the second half and Wrigley as 1984!

Thank you for all support messages. Go Cubs!

-Ryne Sandberg

Sandberg, whose statue was introduced outside of Wrigley Field in June 2024, was diagnosed in January 2024 prostate cancer.

In August last year, Sandberg announced that he was free of cancer. However, he later announced in December that his cancer returned and widespread.

The Hall of Fam was on the team at the beginning of this season and performed on both Cubs Convention and in their spring training facility in Mesa, AZ.

Sandberg played 16 seasons on the north side, where he performed in 10 all-star games and won nine Gold Glove Awards. His 2,385 hits in a Cubs uniform are the fourth highest in the franchise story.

One of his best seasons came in 1984 when he won the NL MVP (highlighted by the legendary 'Sandberg game') and the Cubs led to their first post -season appearance in 39 years.

Sandberg was included in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005, in the same year in which the Cubs retreated its number 23.
