Overview

  • The entire Cubs roster will don royal blue jerseys bearing Sandberg’s retired No. 23 and no player names during Saturday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles at Wrigley Field.
  • A video tribute will precede the 1:20 p.m. first pitch as the team marks its first home series since Sandberg’s passing on July 28.
  • After the game each nameless No. 23 jersey will be auctioned to raise funds for metastatic prostate cancer research.
  • Players will continue to wear a No. 23 memorial patch on their left shoulder through season’s end.
  • Sandberg’s career highlights—including 10 consecutive All-Star selections and a Hall of Fame induction—underscore his enduring impact on the Cubs franchise and its philanthropic efforts.
