To get hyped for Opening Day this year (which has been harder than most recent years) I re-watched the Sandberg Game documentary produced by Marquee Sports Network. I presume most readers of this site are well familiar with this game, and this chronicle in particular, but I highly recommend watching it (again) either way.
The game itself was an NBC Game-of-the-Week matchup between the Cubs and Cards in June of 1984. Sandberg went 5-for-6 with 7 RBI, which would have made for a big afternoon all on its own. More importantly, he hit consecutive game-tying home runs against future Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter in the 9th and 10th innings to launch his MVP campaign.
