Northwest-native Sandberg
inducted at Cooperstown
Ryne Sandburg, a graduate of Spokane's North Central
High School, joins the ranks of the Baseball Hall of Fame
BY NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SPOKANE, Wash. — New baseball
Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg was shy,
quiet, a bit old school and in many
ways seemed a quintessential Spokane
Guy from North Central High School.
In those qualities he was similar to
John Stockton, a future basketball Hall
of Famer who attended Spokane’s
Gonzaga Prep High School at about
the same time.
Along with NFL quarterback Mark
Rypien of Shadle Park High School, the
three athletes dominated Spokane
prep sports in the late 1970s.
“That’s pretty incredible for a small
town like that,” Sandberg said during
a conference call with reporters on
TUesday, shortly after his election to
Cooperstown. “They take their sports
very seriously up there.
“Growing up in the Pacific North
west, I think that’s where I estab
lished the work ethic I maintained
through my whole career,”
Sandberg told reporters. “A lot of
that comes from the hardworking
attitude that’s in Spokane.”
Sandberg is only the second grad
uate of a Washington high school to
be elected to the Baseball Hall of
Fame. The other is Earl Averill, a
1920 graduate of Everett High
School, who was inducted in 1975.
Numerous other Hall of Famers
have passed through Spokane over the
years, including former Spokane Indi
ans Stan Coveleski, George Kelly, Duke
Snider, Hoyt Wilhelm, Tommy Lasor
da and Don Sutton. George Brett is a
co-owner of the Spokane Indians.
Unlike Stockton and Rypien, who
both maintain strong ties to the
Spokane area, Sandberg graduated
from North Central nearly 27 years ago
and rarely looked back on the Lilac
City. He lives in Arizona. The baseball
field at North Central is named for
him, and the school still has some of
his trophies.
Sandberg’s father Derwent, a
mortician who died in 1986, was a
baseball fan and named him after
pitcher Ryne Duran.
His mother Elizabeth died in July.
An older brother died in 1992, while
brother Del is a teacher in Olympia
and sister Maryl works for a Seattle
television station.
Sandberg grew up on the north
side of Spokane, and played base
ball, football and basketball at North
Central. As a basketball player, he
averaged 13.3 points a game his sen
ior season and was among the
league leaders in rebounding.
In football, Sandberg led the Indians
to an undefeated record and the
Greater Spokane League title his
senior season. He completed 77 of 142
tosses for 1,180 yards, 12 touchdowns
and just two interceptions, and was
offered a scholarship to Washington
State University.
But baseball was his best sport, and
he was a big reason the Indians
reached the 1978 state baseball cham
pionship game. The Indians finished
25-3 with Sandberg hitting .417 with
four home runs. He was spotted by
Philadelphia scout Bill Harper, who
was impressed by his speed.
The Phillies drafted Sandberg in the
20th round of the 1978 baseball draft
and he played minor league baseball in
Helena, Mont. Sandberg was traded to
the Chicago Cubs along with Larry
Bowa for Ivan DeJesus in 1982.
Sandberg’s combination of power
and consistency made him the best
second baseman of his era, but he
played on just three winning teams in
15 seasons with the Cubs.
A 10-time All-Star and nine-time
Gold Glove second baseman for the
Cubs, he hit 282 homers, and his
.989 fielding percentage is the
highest ever at second base. The
1984 NL MVP finished with a .285
lifetime average. He was an All-Star
from 1984 through 1993.
Sandberg played in two postseason
series, in 1984 and 1989. But he
never went to the World Series,
something the Cubs haven’t done
since 1945.
Club Sports: Cycling team returns veterans
Continued from page 13
“We’re a much more experienced
team,” club coordinator Jason Thorpe
said. “And we’re a lot better trained. ”
The Ducks return a more seasoned
squad after having only two riders last
year with any kind of competitive
cycling experience.
Also adding optimism is the hiring
of Jenette Rose, an expert-level coach.
“This is the first year that we’ve had
a real coach,” Thorpe said.
The Ducks, who also field a
women’s team, compete in the North
west Collegiate Cycling Conference that
includes Washington, Oregon State,
Western Washington, Washington
State and Portland State, among others.
Collegiate cycling events, called
omniums, consist of multiple races
during a two-day period.
Road races, usually divided into “A”,
“B” and “C” races if there are enough
participants, consist of 30-to-70 mile
treks, depending on the omnium.
On the same day, team trials are
run. These are six-to-nine-mile sprints
where “it’s not uncommon to be really
sick after,” Thorpe said.
Most exciting are the criteriums,
where several blocks in the host city
are roped off, and race participants
compete for 45 minutes plus two laps
in a free-for-all.
Oregon has its first omnium March
19 in Walla Walla, Wash.
Roetman: Home wins important, not rivalry
has known it for a long time. And if
the freshmen don’t know it yet, they
soon will: Winning home games is
essential to winning the Pac-10 title
and any dreams of advancing to the
NCAA Tournament.
If the youthful Ducks want to
consider themselves legitimate con
tenders for a spot in the postseason,
defeating the Beavers on Saturday is
a good way to start.
“We want to protect our house,”
Hairston said. “We don’t want to
lose anymore at (McArthur Court).”
While rivalry games are always
fun for a team and its fans, winning
at home and focusing on the
long-term goals of the season carry
more weight for the Oregon men’s
basketball team.
And that’s exactly how it should be.
