Cubs Legend Ryne Sandberg Begins Treatment for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

The Hall of Famer, known for his illustrious career with the Cubs, announced his diagnosis and treatment on Instagram.

Chicago Cubs Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg has announced that he has begun treatment for metastatic prostate cancer.
Sandberg, 64, played in parts of 16 big-league seasons, almost entirely with the Cubs, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005.
Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men, and metastatic cancer spreads from where it started to other parts of the body.
Sandberg's career highlights include leading the National League with 40 home runs, 116 runs, 344 bases, 100 RBI, and 25 steals in 1990.
After his retirement, Sandberg served as a spring training instructor with the Cubs in Mesa, Arizona, and was a manager in the Cubs' minor-league system.
