Looking not to quit on the World Series while facing a 3-1 deficit, the Chicago Cubs will have Ryne Sandberg, who quit midseason on the Philadelphia Phillies in 2015, throw out the first pitch prior to Game 5 of the World Series:
#WorldSeries Game 5
Anthem, God Bless America: Wayne Messmer

The team appears to be pulling out all the stops prior to Game 5, with fellow Hall of Famer Andre Dawson also involved in the pre-game ceremonies of what will be the final game of the series at Wrigley Field regardless of the outcome of the game. Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder is set to sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame during the seventh inning stretch, which is tradition at the MLB's second oldest stadium.
Sandberg has a different legacy in Philadelphia than in Chicago. Sandberg played his first season with the Phillies, but spent the rest of his Hall of Fame playing career playing for the Cubs, accumulating over 2,300 hits, 10 All-Star appearances and a 60.9 career WAR (per FanGraphs).
Though Sandberg started his coaching career in the Cubs organization, he ultimately broke into the majors as a coach with the Phillies, first serving as Charlie Manuel's third-base coach. When Manuel was fired in August of 2013, Sanberg was named the interim manager and eventually had his interim tag stripped. In parts of three seasons, Sandberg displayed little ability to connect with players and seemed overwhelmed managing during games. On June 26, 2015, Sandberg resigned as the team's manager with just a .428 winning percentage.
