Have a baseball card and a small Ryno figurine on my desk at work. the 84 team was a very special team and a very special memory, I was a freshman in college and watched every game I could that year, including the "Sandberg Game" that really won him the MVP that year.
RIP Ryno!!

Growing up watching WGN in the 80’s and 90’s, he was one of my all time favorites. RIP Ryno.
This. Losing a lot of legends lately.

Growing up off of Racine on the Northside as a kid, Ryno was my absolute hero.
It wouldn't be until another Chicago icon who donned the #23 jersey came along that i found myself able to hold anyone in the same regard as I held Ryno.
He was the only reason to watch the Cuns through some of the lean years of Tribune ownership.
I still to this day hold am inordinate amount of hatred towards Steve Garvey and the fricking Padres of robbing that 85 Cubs team at the chance for a world series. fricking Steve Garvey.
65 is so young. He still had so much to give the game of baseball. A somber reminder to everyone over 40 to get their prostate exam.

My favorite of all time.
Grew up in South Louisiana, had WGN, and became a Cubs fan.
He became my favorite. I wore number 23 because of him. I still use 23 in most any password combination. It's in my email address. He's who I think about when the number 23 comes up for anything.
I hope he stole 2nd right when they opened the gates of Heaven.
