CHICAGO -- On the 40th anniversary of his most famous game, Chicago Cubs Hall of Fame second baseman, Ryne Sandberg, was immortalized outside Wrigley Field as the team unveiled a statue of his likeness in an afternoon ceremony on Sunday.
Sandberg, 64, was feted in front of friends and family as well as former teammates, while current Cubs looked on from the second level of the stadium concourse. Both his double play partners at shortstop -- Larry Bowa and Shawon Dunston -- were in attendance and spoke to the crowd which included legions of Cubs and Sandberg fans.
