Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg says he is cancer-free

CHICAGO -- Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg says he is cancer-free.

The Chicago Cubs great made the announcement on Instagram on Thursday, nearly seven months after he announced he had metastatic prostate cancer.

"Rang the Bell this morning!" he wrote. "WE did it, WE won! What a Dream Team, family, doctors, friends, nurses, fans who supported myself and Margaret through the last 8 months! We feel so blessed from all the love, prayers and thoughts and positive words that have come our way! Modern medicine has come along way so once again early detection is important.
