I imagine that many others in my age group, (I waa ten in 1991) who grew up in Cubs' nation will agree, Ryne Sandburg was damn near a superhero. Classy dude, bringing up Santo and Dawson
pretty good speech for a guy who wasn't all about gabbing it up. he played the game like it should be played. i see a lot of ryne sandberg in current cub kris bryant.
Ryne Sandberg was such a class act when he played and afterwards as a manager. Ryno was our only true bright and shining star in the 80's and also the best in the 90's. I have met him twice and I have some great pic's of him. I felt like a little kid meeting my biggest hero even when I was an adult. Thank you Ryne for doing everything the right way. Your still my favorite player ever among greats like Rizzo, Bryant, Contreras, Dawson ,Sutcliff and many more Cubs greats. Thank you for all that you did for us Cubs fans and the game of baseball.
Best speech ever! Play the game it should be played and have respect. Act like you been there before. Ryno makes these new showboats dancing in the dugout and whatnot look like a bunch of little kids. Id take guys like Ryno, Biggio, Schmidt, Ozzie, among others over these guys any day. Baseball was better then.....
Sandberg would have had better career numbers, but I seem to remember him taking a long time off to deal with his batshit crazy wife during a messy divorce.
Person is asked to make a wish. Person replies -Middle East Peace. Cubs in World Series. Angel said Middle East Peace is possible but not Cubs winning World Series. Cubs win but there is still no true Middle East Peace
Yes, players need to be real players again. Hit for avg! Steal, hit and run, move a runner over. The game isn’t good anymore. Hitting 220 or so is embarrassing
Bud Selig, always a horrible person, he talks the entire speech, leaves at one point. total clown terrible commissioner of baseball. so disrespectful of Reno's moment.
Actually I think this is one of the greatest speeches I have ever heard. Something up there with what F D R or Winston Churchill have said. And then it really hammers it home to know what type of character Rhyno had as a ball player
He’s a base ball player. His actions speak louder than words. It is actually a great speech. He’s very humble and has respect for even the people he didn’t like. Ryno is a true and real role model. Sorry you couldn’t recognize that this is Ryno’s speech.
Love the NC High and Spokane, WA mention. My hometown.

Every kid playing baseball should watch this speech and see what it means to respect the game and be a great teammate.
Sandberg, Morgan, and Alomar - the three finest second basemen of the modern era.
pretty good speech for a guy who wasn't all about gabbing it up. he played the game like it should be played. i see a lot of ryne sandberg in current cub kris bryant.
Underrated player and video! He played the game the way it should be played. What a role model for baseball players.
these people arent public speakers if they slip up, or their comedic timing isnt on, they get a pass. Best Ever RYNO
12:30 Shawn Dunston remark was hilarious!
My favorite player of all-time.
Bud Selig could pass for Stephen Hawking's twin.
Greatest Cubs Second baseman Of ALL TIME.

Grace??
I think the jury is still out on Rizzo, Bryant, and Contreras (maybe not Rizzo, he's legit)
RYNO - Always classy - He was a quiet leader who led by example
I think every baseball player playing today should watch this.
Ryno is a real class act.
You are a fool. This is by far one of the best speeches of all time.
Agreed
Came here while reading Bob Beck's book, Thanks for the memories. love Ryno!!
One of the greatest speeches I have ever listened to
Respect..
greatest ever.
what a great ball player.
Maybe not best 2nd baseman ever, but definitely the best of his era. And probably in top 5 ever.
The greatest of all time, imo. I may be bias as a Cubs fan. Ryno!
It was great but so was "The Hawks."
@Drew Taks At second base.
@Ladh 70 Joe Morgan
@Ladh 70 defensively, I agree. Uh, Not a bad hitter, either
This guy had class.
I love how he mentions Pete Rose over and over. Maybe it was to F with the Hall of Fame
That was a total jab at Bud Selig.
I can see why mayyybe he didn’t make it as a MLB Manager. A lot of guys don’t play the game with the “respect for the game”.
I was fully expecting him to be chased from the podium and replaced by Justin DeFratus.
every time I see Tommy Lasorda I think Kurt Bevaqua who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat.
THIS is what baseball was supposed to be all about. It's changed now. I'm out.
Think Reggie is sleeping
Yes, Rose was amazing.
Selig looks totally uninterested and bored. Disrespect.
Ryno went and mentioned Rose. Wonder if that pissed em off?
When he said Dawson fuking selig dipped out

Mr Niceguy The infamous corn cob dress
Listening to Sandberg's speech reminds me of what Derek Jeter may say in 2020.
Haha, yeah, Jeter showed The Hawk a massive amount of “respect” in Miami.
Sandberg would always smack the great Bruce Sutter
Please I want you to come.
Love the obvious swipes at Sammy (most overrated player in history)
Time has told us....you were wrong.
Owell was showing my son how to play the game .... got the comment wrong. My bad!
1- Hornsby
2- Collins
3- Jackie
4- Morgan
5- Lajoie

Facts you are so dam right

possibly the worst induction speach/speaker of all-time. CLEAR EYES....
Probably the worst UA-cam comment of all time
theedgeinshow Agreed.
He's not an orator.
