The Chicago Cubs ended their promising 2025 season with a 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in the deciding game of the NLDS. Despite a commendable effort, the team could not overcome a strong opponent and ended their journey in the playoffs.
In this sad moment, fans remembered the legendary Ryne Sandberg – who devoted his entire career to his beloved team. Although Sandberg passed away in July 2025 after a long battle with prostate cancer, his legacy and love for the Cubs will live on in the hearts of fans.
His wife, Margaret Sandberg, shared an emotional message on her personal page:
“As a lifelong and true Cubs fan, we will always be there. My husband has had his share of failures, but he has always stood up and fought for his love of this team. Remember, failures are temporary, but the love and belief in this team will last forever.”
Margaret’s message is not only a comfort to fans, but also a reminder of Ryne Sandberg’s resilience and undying love for the Chicago Cubs. Although he is no longer present on the field, his image – with the number 23 – will forever be a symbol of loyalty and pride for this team.

The Cubs fan community has expressed their grief and remembrance of the one-time legend. Many people placed flowers and lit candles at his statue on Gallagher Way, where he and his team had made history together.
Although this season did not end as expected, the love and faith of fans for the Chicago Cubs will never fade. And as Margaret said: “We will always be there.”
