Ryne Sandberg

Ryne Sandberg is recognized as one of the best second basemen of all time. He made his major league debut as a shortstop for the Philadelphi Phillies in 1981. Thought to have little future with the club except as a utility infielder, he was traded along with shortstop Larry Bowa to the Cubs for shortstop Ivan DeJesus prior to the 1982 season. The Cubs, who initially wanted Sandberg to play center field, installed him as their thir baseman, and he went on to be one of the top-rated rookies of 1982. However, Sandberg was displaced by Chicago's free-agent signing of veteran Ron Cey following the 1982 season, so Sandberg moved to second base, where he became a star. Sandberg established himself as a perennial All-Star and Gold Glove candidate, making 10 consecutive All-Star appearances and winning 9 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1983 to 1991. His career .989 fielding percentage is a major league record at second base. Following his storied career, Sandberg was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in January 2005.
