A Special Soul Has Passed Away

  
      Ryne Sandberg has passed away
        For this special soul, baseball prays

      One year he could not give his all every day
        What’d he do? ~ He gave back his pay*




     ____________________________________
     *That year, Ryne had inked a contract for the
       highest single-year salary every paid a base-
       ball player to that point in time. Approximate-
       ly 8.7 million dollars. He left the team in June,
       returning all of his unearned salary to his
       astonished team, the Chicago Cubs.
