		Sandberg started the 1985 season in a slump, batting.192 in April, but caught fire in early May raising his average to.257 in the first 17 games in May, he continued to hit well the rest of the season, finishing with a.305 AVG and a.364 OBP.

		What Sandberg did have was time and imagination, a bat and a glove, maybe a tennis or golf ball to spice things up – and the house at 723 W. Augusta, which took a pounding more intense than Fenway's Green Monster or Wrigley's ivied brick ever endured.
		Derwent Sandberg was a mortician and his wife Elizabeth a registered nurse, and together they provided for their daughter Maryl and sons Lane, Del (named for former Philadelphia outfielder Del Ennis) and Ryne.
		But Sandberg started to consider the rigors of trying to play two sports in college and keep up his studies, not that he had anything he was passionate about studying anyway.

		When Ryne Sandberg came into his own in the Windy City in 1984, the classic baseball film "The Natural" was a hit -- as were the Cubs, who played their way into the post-season for the first time since 1945.
		Named after relief pitcher Ryne Duren, who was on the mound for the Yankees as Sandberg's parents tried to pick a name for their son, Sandberg was an outstanding high school athlete.
		Sandberg spent nearly three years in the Phillies' minor league organization as a shortstop and despite defensive struggles he quickly matured into a "can't miss" prospect.

		Sandberg received roughly half the votes cast (244), well shy of the 75 percent needed for his ticket to Cooperstown.
		But in Sandberg's case, it's worthwhile because he was so obviously as good as -- and usually significantly better than -- half the second basemen already in the Hall: Johnny Evers, Red Schoendienst, Billy Herman, Bobby Doerr, Nellie Fox, Tony Lazzeri, Bid McPhee and Bill Mazeroski.
		What hurt Sandberg is his abrupt retirement in 1994 and dubious return a few years later.
