66 years old. Played football and baseball against him in HS, (he signed with the Cuog to play QB). Played in college with several friends of his, so hung out a little bit with him as well. RIP…

That’s horrible. I was in Cooperstown yesterday and was wondering why Ryne was absent and that they highlighted him. I’m friends with the family and deeply saddened by this. His brother is a longtime Olympia resident and a former coach of mine. His nephew, a former major leaguer and successful coach, was a classmate of mine. I’m shocked by the news, but I guess I was somehow informed by MLB Commissioner Manfred’s statement yesterday.
*Correction: he was 65
It's Ryne not Ryan

I don't remember much about how he played - probably in part because he was stuck on the Cubs. I just remember that he was good and I never understood how he and Mark Grace could be stuck on such shit teams for the majority of their careers.
Guys on baseball cards that I collected as a youth are now dying. "Not good!"
I was just thinking the same re: people dying. When George Brett dies I might just quit baseball.
I need to find my binder of good cards. I know I had a 1983 Topps and maybe a Donruss rookie card of Sandberg. Google doesn't think they're worth much but still...
