Sandberg, Ricketts rave about Cubs' historic start

CHICAGO -- Ryne Sandberg played 15 seasons with the Cubs in his Hall of Fame career, but he said he's never seen anything like this.

Sandberg and Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts represented the organization Wednesday at a Play Ball Weekend event at Chicago's Hawthorne Scholastic Academy, and both raved about the team's nearly unprecedented start to the season.

"It's just a team that is put together with a lot of talent, great energy and such a positive feeling about them," Sandberg said. "It's hard for me to compare that to anything I really experienced, so I'm really enjoying it from the stands.
