Ryno Anticipation
Tuesday, January 4, 2005
Twelve hours, and I think I'm going to be a happy man! I have a feeling in my bones, and I'm hoping I'm right.
The Hall of Fame voting results will be announced today at 1:00 p.m. eastern time, and I'll be eagerly waiting to hear whether or not Ryno gets in. In my opinion, Sandberg was one of the greatest second basemen ever, blending speed, defense, and offense into an ideal package.
Although I have no respect for Dave van Dyck (his stories often contain factual errors) I did agree with what he wrote for ChicagoSports.com
Excerpt from: Dave van Dyck: Yes, a write-in for Rose
ChicagoSports.com - December 30, 2004 | | Ryne Sandberg: The dominant second baseman of his era, he changed the way we think about middle infielders. He was tall and athletic, a record-setting fielder and an offensive powerhouse who set the mold for players like Alex Rodriguez. |
So, while you wait to find out if Ryne Sandberg gets inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005, go ahead and peruse the (modesty aside) Ultimate Ryne Sandberg Fan Page.
