We will continue to be positive, strong, and fight to beat this. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family." Sandberg was the National League MVP in 1984 and a 10-time all-star during 15 seasons for the Cubs from 1982 to 1997, with 282 home runs and 344 stolen bases. After his playing career, he served as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies from 2013 to 2015, going 119-159."Ryne is an inspiration to cancer survivors everywhere," Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said in a statement Tuesday.
