⚾️🐻On June 13, 1994 Chicago Cubs great Ryne Sandberg, a notoriously slow early season starter, found himself struggling even more so than usual early in the season. With his average at a career low .238 and having recorded only 53 hits in 57 games, Sandberg decided to step away from baseball and announced his retirement, walking away from $16 million. Sandberg would return to the Cubs in 1996 to play 2 more seasons.🐻⚾️ #Ryno #Cubbies | Davenport Sports Network
