Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg revealed on Instagram that his prostate cancer has reemerged and metastasized, necessitating further intensive treatment. The Chicago Cubs legend expressed his determination to remain "positive, strong, and fight to beat this." Sandberg initially announced his diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer in January and reported remission in August following chemotherapy and radiation therapies.
Sandberg's career in Major League Baseball saw him named National League MVP in 1984 and a 10-time All-Star over 15 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, during which he hit 282 home runs and stole 344 bases. His post-playing career included a managerial stint with the Philadelphia Phillies from 2013 to 2015, where he accrued a record of 119-159. In recognition of his contributions, the Cubs honored Sandberg this summer with a statue outside Wrigley Field.
Cubs owner Tom Ricketts expressed support for Sandberg, highlighting his inspirational role for cancer survivors. "Ryne has the heart and soul of a champion," Ricketts noted, urging fans to send positive thoughts and prayers as Sandberg faces "this next round of treatments to defeat cancer."
