CHICAGO - Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg will be immortalized outside of Wrigley Field in the summer of 2024 when the team unveils a statue of his likeness, the organization announced on Saturday at its annual fan convention.
Sandberg's statue will join those of Hall of Fame players Ron Santo, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Fergie Jenkins and announcer Harry Caray just outside the gates of the stadium.
Sandberg found out about the honor when it was announced to the crowd - which he was a part of -- during a seminar with ownership on Saturday morning.
