Cubs' Sandberg back in baseball
CHICAGO — Ryne Sandberg, who retired abruptly midway through the 1994 season, signed a one-year contract to return to the Chicago Cubs yesterday.
The Associated Press
"This is something that was in the back of my mind this summer," the second baseman said at a news conference. "It came about on my visits to Wrigley Field. I liked what I saw, and that was a big part of me coming back."
Sandberg, 36, retired because he was unhappy with Cubs general manager Larry Himes and was worn out by the team's inability to win. He also was having some problems in his marriage and has since divorced and remarried.
Last season, the Cubs went 73-71 and were in contention for a playoff spot until the final weekend.
"I feel very good about myself, and I'm very happy," Sandberg said. "I want to help the Cubs win, have a good season and really enjoy it."
Sandberg posed for photographers holding his jersey, No.23.
"It's not 45," general manager Ed Lynch said, referring to the number Michael Jordan wore when he returned to the Chicago Bulls. Jordan later reverted to his old number, which was also 23.
Chicago first baseman Mark Grace said it was a great day for the Cubs and Chicago fans.
"As far as the fans are concerned, this is the man," Grace said.
Sandberg was an All-Star second baseman for 10 consecutive seasons
Cubs shortstop Shawon Dunston told the Chicago Sun-Times he wouldn't mind moving to third base if Sandberg returns, allowing the Cubs to move either Rey Sanchez or Jose Hernandez to shortstop, and Sandberg to second base.
Sandberg is a career .289 hitter with 245 home runs and 905 RBI. He is close to the career record for homers by a second baseman, held by Joe Morgan at 266, and also is a nine-time Gold Glove winner.
with the Cubs when he suddenly retired from baseball on June 13, 1994, saying the game was no longer fun. But after more than a year away from the majors, he decided to come back.
Ryno's Career Highlights
June, 1978 - Selected by Philadelphia Phillies in 20th round of draft
Jan. 27, 1982 — Traded with Larry Bowa to Cubs for Ivan Delesus
There was speculation that Sandberg, one of the best all-around second basemen in history, might shift to third base, where he began his Cubs' career. But there may not be any definite plan yet to make that move.
July 1984 — Made his first All-Star start, going 1-for-4 at San Francisco
October 1984 — Chosen National League MVP, bats .368 in NL playoffs against Padres
1991 — Becomes first second baseman in major league history to win nine Gold Gloves
July 3, 1993 -- Collects his 2,000th hit off Colorado's Curt Leskanic
June 13, 1994 — Announces his retirement, less than two years into a four-year, $28 million contract.
Sandberg was in the second year of a four-year contract and walked away from about $17 million.
Sandberg often repeated that he had no intention of returning to the majors. He said it in his book "Second to Home" that was published this year and said it again late this summer.
Sandberg spent much of his time in retirement living at his Arizona home, near the Cubs' spring training site in Mesa. Although he was not playing ball, his contract with the Cubs called for some off-field work for the team. Sandberg and his wife, Cindy.
game not fun."
By Linda C. Black
Sandberg and his wife, Cindy,
divorced this year and share custody
of their children. Sandberg remarried
in August, and friends have described
him as happier than he's been in a longtime.
"He's got a new lease on life," Grace told WGN radio. "He's got a new marriage. Satan is no longer our general manager. We all knew he had marital problems. Maybe those problems were happening then. He said the game was no longer fun. I think Larry Himes had a lot to do with making the
When Sandberg left the Cubs, he was upset with the way the team was being run by Himes, who was later reassigned. The Cubs have completely changed their front-office structure. Lynch, who briefly played with Sandberg and is his friend, became the general manager. Andy MacPhail, who built World Series champions in Minnesota, took the reins as president.
Horoscopes
Today's Birthday (Nov. 1): This year, you'll be lucky in love, playing games and being with children. This should be lots of fun. Learn new skills to update your experience in December and January. Plan a romantic excursion back in time for March. April could be hectic at work, but things should settle down by May. July's good for travel, but your career demands attention in August. Visit friends in September, and leave October free.
Arles (March 21-April 19):
This morning, check the stack of mail for a bill you forgot to pay. If you're short on cash, remind a friend who owes you money to pay up. A challenge later in the day could spur you to new heights.
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
Cross the unnecessary items off your list this morning. Then, assign whatever you can to a partner. A friend also is eager to help. Tonight will be marvelous for a romantic interlude, but your house may not be the best location. Go someplace special.
Gemini (May 21-June 21):
You'll be more successful with an authority figure if you don't make an issue of your disagreement. If one way won't work, you can always find another. A trip to the library might provide the idea you need. An older person may be more receptive than you thought tonight.
Cancer (June 22-July 22):
You are very lucky today. To intensify that condition, spend
as much time as possible near water. Don't forget to call a dear friend who's not feeling well. Your love and attention could help more than most of the medication the doctor has prescribed.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): If somebody offers constructive criticism today, accept it in the spirit intended. In other words, you may have to admit you were wrong. Later, a long-distance communication could get garrled. Don't believe a rumor until you've checked it out carefully.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
Your troubles may just melt away, if you share them with a person you can trust. If strict confidentiality is required, make sure the other person knows that ahead of time.
Learning a new recipe could be fun tonight, but it might turn out differently than you expected.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): To get past a logjam, keep believing it's possible. Don't worry if there's no evidence to support that conclusion. Listen not only to ideas you like, but also to the ones you think are stupid. Know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away. Know when to run.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
If an insensitive clod happens to make a direct hit on one of your weaknesses today, give thanks.
You'll win even more by putting in the necessary correction. A romantic partner will probably do whatever you want, without
much effort on your part. Don't take advantage!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec.
21); Whatever you find most annoying today holds the key to your success. You can figure it out and have your life get easier, or you can keep fighting the inevitable. Meanwhile, go along with your roommate's wishes, if they're not too weird.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan.
19): If your sweetheart's in a rotten mood this morning, it may not be your fault. Keep from pointing out the obvious for a change. A party this evening should be a grand success. Speaking of which, you could make a friend of a very important person.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may not get direct answers today, so watch the body language, too. Don't complain about an older person's emotional reaction. Plan for it, instead. You could be attracted to a totally unsuitable partner tonight. That could lead to an interesting experience.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
You have a natural talent for sensing where another person hurts and finding ways to ease the pain. Tonight, a friend might need you. Pay attention, so a formal request won't be necessary. Confidential information could help you make a decision, so ask one who knows.
