Ryne Sandberg

Ryne Dee Sandberg (born September 18, 1959 in Spokane, Washington), nicknamed "Ryno", is a former second baseman in Major League Baseball who spent nearly his entire career with the Chicago Cubs. He was named after relief pitcher Ryne Duren, and is recognized as one of the best second basemen of all time. Sandberg was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in January 2005; he was formally inducted in ceremonies on July 31, 2005. He is the current manager of the Peoria Chiefs.

Ryne Dee Sandberg (出生於1959年9月18日，華盛頓州斯博坎市)，綽號 "Ryno"，是前大聯盟二壘手，生涯大半都待在芝加哥小熊隊。他的父母以救援投手Ryne Duren位他命名。Sandberg被認為是大聯盟史上最佳二壘手之ㄧ。他在2005年1月入選棒球名人堂;入選儀式於2005年7月31日舉行。Sandberg目前擔任小熊隊所屬的皮歐利亞酋長隊 (Peoria Chiefs) 的總教練。

Sandberg established himself as a perennial All-Star and Gold Glove candidate, making 10 consecutive All-Star appearances and winning 9 consecutive Gold Gloves from 1983 to 1991. His career .989 fielding percentage is a major league record at second base.

Sandberg長期為明星賽與金手套的人選，生涯連續10年入選明星賽，並且從1983年至1991年連9年獲得金手套。他的生涯.989守備率為大聯盟二壘手的紀錄。

Philadelphia Phillies
費城費城人

Sandberg was drafted in the 20th round of the 1978 amateur draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. He went on to make his major league debut as a shortstop for the Phillies in 1981.

Sandberg在1978年選秀會上於第20輪被費城費城人隊選上。並且在1981年以游擊手的身分在大聯盟初豋場。

However, the Phillies didn't have much room in the lineup for him at the time. The Phillies didn't think he could play shortstop, and he was blocked from second and third base by Manny Trillo and Mike Schmidt, respectively. Accordingly, he was traded along with shortstop Larry Bowa to the Cubs for shortstop Ivan DeJesus prior to the 1982 season. The trade, now considered one of the most one-sided deals in baseball history, came about because Bowa had antagonized the Phillies' front office. However, Cubs general manager Dallas Green (a former Phillies manager) wanted a young prospect to go along with the aging Bowa.

然而當時費城人隊的打線並沒有太多空間可以讓Sandberg發揮。費城人隊認為Sandberg不適合守游擊，再加上二壘與三壘的位置又被Manny Trillo與Mike Schmidt所佔據，所以在1982年球季開打前，他與Larry Bowa一同被交易至芝加哥小熊隊以交換游擊手Ivan DeJesus。這項交易現在被認為是大聯盟史上最不均衡的交易之ㄧ，起因為Bowa與費城人隊管理階層不合，再加上小熊隊總經理Dallas Green(前費城人總教練)希望除了逐漸老化的Bowa外還能有一位年輕新秀一同轉隊。
