Ryne Sandberg came up as a shortstop with the Philadelphia Phillies and had one hit (at Wrigley Field) in six at bats for them before he was traded along with Larry Bowa to the Cubs for Ivan DeJesus in one of the most lopsided deals in MLB history. Imagine Sandberg and Mike Schmidt batting back-to-back in the Philadelphia lineup. He would become a perennial All-star and Gold Glove Award winner with ten straight All-star appearances and nine consecutive Gold Glove Awards. He has a Home Run title to his credit and a MVP Award to go with his Hall of Fame plaque. I currently have 777 unique cards of "Ryno" in my collection. Here are nine of them including some rookies, some relics, some short prints and an auto.
