Ryne Sandberg --Second Base

It is just a matter of time until "Ryno" is conducted into the Hall of Fame, if only he had a better timing for his retirement. He quit baseball in 1994, came back in '96 and retired again in '97.
Still, there's no arguing that he is the greatest fielding second baseman there ever was - with a .990 lifetime fielding average and nine consecutive Gold Gloves, 123 games without an error, four seasons without throwing an error. Sandberg set the major league record for homeruns by a second baseman and won the 1984 NL MVP, a season the Cubs finished first of their division. Also, for the first time he played in an All-Star game, the first of 10 consecutive appearances.
