Faaaaame, Makes A Man Take Things Over

Ryne Sandberg should have made it into the Hall of Fame on his first try, but nonetheless, all has been rectified.

Sandberg won the National League Gold Glove award nine times, was a standout second baseman with the Chicago Cubs for 15 of his 16 seasons and was chosen in his third year of eligibility.

Sandberg, 45, the 17th second baseman selected for the Hall of Fame, finished his career (1981-97) with a .285average with 282 home runs and 1,061 RBI.

He topped the National League with 40 homers in 1990 and his 277 total homers as a second baseman are behind only Jeff Kent all-time.

He also had the coolest baseball card of all time.
