Our hearts ache as we share that our teammate & friend, Jeff Dickerson, has passed away. JD was an amazing son, husband, father & friend. We will miss his smile, his love for his family & his love for all the fans of Chicago. You will live in our hearts forever. We love you JD.
One of the greatest second basemen to ever play the game.
10x All-Star. 9x Gold Glove. NL MVP. Hall of Famer.
Ryne Sandberg’s legacy in baseball—and in Chicago—will never be forgotten.
RIP Ryno 💙
