Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg lost his battle with cancer on Monday. He was 65. A 20th-round selection by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1978 MLB Draft, Sandberg quickly moved through the Phillies system despite his humble beginnings.

In Philadelphia — a city that saw Ferguson Jenkins and Sergei Bobrovsky climb to fame after they were traded — Sandberg will be remembered as the most painful departure of them all.

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