Ryne Sandberg’s Hall of Fame induction speech
Posted: October 9, 2015 Filed under: 21st Century | Tags: Baseball, Chicago Cubs, Major League Baseball, National Baseball Hall of Fame, Ryne Sandberg 2 CommentsRyne Sandberg’s Hall of Fame induction speech is arguably one of the best that I’ve listened to thus far. I particularly enjoyed his discussion of the proliferation of home runs in the game. Even I can’t deny that home runs are exciting, but small ball, in my opinion, is much more of an art form. Sandberg was inducted in to the Hall of Fame as a Cubs second baseman in 2005.

I don’t know about that, but I do know this: I had too much respect for the game to play it any other way, and if there was there was a single reason I am here today, it is because of one word, respect. I love to play baseball. I’m a baseball player. I’ve always been a baseball player. I’m still a baseball player. That’s who I am.
