“Hall of Famer and Cubs stalwart Ryne Sandberg wasn’t just a great baseball player – he was a class act who never cheated the game,” Obama posted on X. “Everyone in Chicago — including White Sox fans — will miss him deeply.”

The great Chicago Cubs infielder Ryne Sandberg died at the age of 65. Sandberg, a Baseball Hall of Famer, had battled prostate cancer.
