The baseball world lost a legend on Monday, as longtime Chicago Cubs second basemen and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg passed away at the age of 65. Sandberg, the 1984 National League MVP, a 10-time All-Star and a nine-time Gold Glover, was known as much for his elite hitting and infield defense as he was for his quiet leadership and pleasantness.

Ryne Sandberg, who managed the Iowa Cubs in 2010, died on July 28. The Chicago Cubs star made a brief but profound impact in Des Moines.

After Ryne Sandberg's passing, the memories and lessons he imparted as a franchise legend remain for the present-day members of the Cubs franchise.
