The Cubs were the first sports team I ever liked. I was 5, Ryne Sandberg was a rookie, and Harry Caray was in his first year with the team.

I don't remember my fav toy growing up as a kid anymore. What i do remember is being woken up every afternoon at my sitters just in time to sing with Harry. The Cubs were my first love and memory of sports as a kid.

My wife and I are expecting our first child within the week, a son who will have a Cub themed 1st name. I hope the 1st gm at Wrigley after he is born is Harry on the big screen as we share that moment together.

When we found out my third child was going to be a boy (our first), I tried for 6 months to get her to let me name him Ryne. She didn't give in. He didn't have a name for over 2 days. Finally, the hospital said we had to pick a name. I said Ryne. My wife said tyler.

The hospital doesn't give a fuck what the dad says.

That's awesome! Congrats! I just found out yesterday that my first child will be a boy! Due in Feb. My wife has already nixed Ryne, Eddie, Mike, Kurt, and making him a Jr. I might get Luke though. I'm sure after the first couple weeks, and my wife hearing "Luke, I am your father," she will have wished she let me go with some of the others.

Congrats. Haha. Yeah finding out our 1st was a boy was one of the best days ever. Would have been happy with a girl too but a boy was my personal preference.

Ha. She said everyone will think his name is Ryan. I said, then he can correct them and say its Ryne after Ryne Sandberg, the greatest 2nd baseman of all time!

Soo glad he is no longer on espn. Ryno was the Cubs for a good decade and a half. Morgan wasn't even one of the 2 best guys on his team. Rose and Bench were much better.

Morgan had over 1800 career walks. 5th all-time. 1000 more than Ryne.

Who fucking cares? WAR is a useless stat. It's fictional. Not real.

Sandberg was a HOF'er.
I would take Morgan over Sandberg any day of the week.

Ryno is my all-time favorite baseball player but it's hard to argue against a career .392 OBP. Ryno's career OBP was about 50 pts lower. I couldn't stand listening to Morgan on Sunday Night Baseball, but he was one hell of a player!!
