I grew up as a child spending many sweltering summer afternoons watching the Chicago Cubs on WGN.

And as a result, Ryne Sandberg was my first sports hero.

I’ve recently given up on following baseball. I’m a big sports fan, but something had to give, and baseball has been dropped from my sports to-do list.

But this video caught my eye last week.

And the first thing I thought was, “Man … Ryno’s looking a little old these days.”

And that led me to realize that I’m not 10 years old anymore, either.

I can thank NewsOK for shedding light on that information.

I also made this quick realization. When Ryne Sandberg is promoted to be the Chicago Cubs manager, I will likely start following baseball closely again.
