Ryne Sandberg

AUGUST 28, 1993 — In the bottom of the fourth inning in a contest between the Chicago Cubs and the Houston Astros, Ryne Sandberg clubbed his 30th home run of the season. The Spokane, Washington, product connected on a Bill Gullickson offering and sent it well over the left-field wall at the Astrodome. With this blast, Sandberg became the first second baseman in MLB history to reach the 30-homer mark in consecutive seasons. Ryne would finish his day 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBI to help lift the Cubs to a 5-2 win.
