I was fortunate enough to be there for Ernie, Billy and Ron, ... I was on the field for all those ceremonies, not even thinking I would have a day that would come like today but just taking it in. To be in their company and to join them means everything to me. - Ryne Sandberg Quotes

Every time I look at that flag flying, I'll think of the Cubs fans that were there for me every day. You have never let me down, and for that I will never forget you. - Ryne Sandberg Quotes

I went into spring training that first year (with the Cubs) in '82 and No. 23 was hanging up in my locker, ... I thought it was kind of an odd number.

It was all about doing things right. If you played the game the right way, played the game for the team, good things would happen. That's what I loved most about the game, how a ground out to second with a man on second and nobody out was a great thing. In my day, if a guy came to spring training 20 pounds heavier than what he left, he was considered out of shape and was probably in trouble. He'd be under a microscope and the first time he couldn't beat out a base hit or missed a fly ball, he was probably shipped out. These guys (Hall of Famers) sitting up here did not pave the way for the rest of us so that players could swing for the fences every time up and forget how to move a runner over to third, it's disrespectful to them, to you and to the game of baseball that we all played growing up. Respect. - Ryne Sandberg Quotes

I thought '23' was kind of an odd number, ... I asked for 14, and Yosh totally turned me down and said that number's been taken and retired. Yosh Kawano has been a good friend of mine, and he was the one that picked that out for me. And that was the perfect number. - Ryne Sandberg Quotes
