Ryne Sandberg was a second baseman for the Chicago Cubs and briefly the Philadelphia Phillies. Sandberg now manages a Phillies minor league team, the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs, and is a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame 2005 class.

In his 16 years in the major leagues, Sandberg was a 10-time All-Star, nine time Gold Glover, seven time Silver Slugger and was the National League MVP in 1984. Ryno’s .989 career fielding percentage at second base is a record for second basemen. Interestingly, Sandberg is named after three time All-Star Ryne Duren. 

Instead of the interview being written completely, I am experimenting with a YouTube video of the interview. Hopefully, I will do some video interviews soon so you can actually watch the interview.

Please comment below if you enjoy the older format of written interviews, instead of YouTube video interviews.

The interview is located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDeDRvxlXFo
