Sandberg Chicago Cubs
How come Chicago Cubs Ryne Sandberg didn't show any emotion, when he played baseball?
I never seen him throw a helmet, pump his fist, or celebrate. he was a great player, though. why didn't he show his emotion.
I think the better question is "why do players today show much emotion?"
I think Sandberg was just an intelligent ballplayer who realized that baseball is not a sport that emotions help you. In some of the other sports, it may help you to get pumped up, but to me baseball is more of a game where you have to play within yourself. he was smart enough to know that there is no need kicking yourself over a bad play, because they were a part of the game. An dhe never seemed to openly celebrate because he realized that he was just doing his job. I've always felt that when a player hits a home run, or when a player scores a touchdown, they should actually act like they've done it before. And act like they will do it again as well.
Perhaps if there were more players like him, the game would be more about team play and doing your job properly rather than about individual glory.
The greatest thing I have ever heard about Sandberg was that in the late 1980's, when he became more of a power hitter, he was still the best bunter the Cubs had. Proof that he wasn't happy with being one dimensional, and that he worked on any skill that he thought would help his team win. And that he didn't play the "I'm a power hitter - I don't need to ever bunt" game as so many would now. (How many sacrifice bunts do you think Bonds laid down, or Sosa, or Manny? Not many I bet.)
Simply put - he did his job. And was happy enough to know that he did it without feeling the need to call more attention to himself.
