"The weather's been pretty gray and gloomy across much of the Midwest this week, or so it's been for my little slice of the world, but it's Friday and Thanksgiving is around the corner. There isn't much to be thankful for in Cubdom right now, and the expected lack of movement over at least the next week means we just have to keep arguing about what the front office might do. I can't wait until we get to debate over the merits of whatever additions they end up making."
"Though Jed Hoyer had nothing to do with it, there was a recent Cubs addition worth celebrating. As famed Chicago sportswriter Barry Rozner shared on social media, Ashley and Justin Sandberg ( Ryne Sandberg 's son) welcomed a baby girl this past Sunday. The couple had shared with Ryno before he passed that his granddaughter would be named after him. Man, I just got a little misty typing that out."
"I'm sure the holiday season will be difficult for the Sandberg family, but I know there will still be plenty of joy as they continue to celebrate the life of a man who was even better off the field than he was on it. Rozner may be a part of that, as he has solicited stories from people who were named after the legendary second baseman that he plans to share with the family. Most of you probably know that I named my son Ryne, so I contributed some words and pictures to the cause."
Gray, gloomy weather and a stagnant Cubs roster have left fans with little to celebrate as Thanksgiving approaches. Ashley and Justin Sandberg welcomed a baby girl and named her after Ryne Sandberg, honoring his legacy. Barry Rozner shared the news on social media and solicited stories from people named after Ryne to share with the Sandberg family. A Cubs fan who named his son Ryne contributed words and pictures to Rozner's collection. The fan's son listed Ryne Sandberg as his favorite player despite never seeing him play; Pete Crow-Armstrong is his current favorite. The birth may bring smiles and comfort to the Sandberg family and fellow fans during a difficult holiday season.
