Sandberg took first place at the Cubs Home Opener in April. The 1984 NL MVP said it was “excited” for the second half of the season.

“I wasn't as much in Wrigley Field as I hoped for in the first half, but I look at every game and look forward to the second half and see how Wrigley rocks like 1984!” Sandberg wrote at the time. “Thank you for the messages of the support. Go Cubs!”
