The Chicago Cubs lost a legend earlier this week with the passing of Ryne Sandberg, and on Saturday they'll honor him by wearing his blue No. 23 jersey.

Sandberg died Monday after a battle with prostate cancer. As Sabrina Franza reports, Sandberg was remembered not only for his stats, but for the energy he brough to the Friendly Confines.

On Monday, the Chicago community lost one of its all-time great sports icons. Chicago Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg has died at the age of 65, according to the franchise. WGN's Dana Rebik caught up with those who appeared outside Wrigley Field Tuesday to pay respects to one of Chicago's greatest athletes.

City council passed an ordinance in June to put bollards or anchored-down cylinders around the ballpark. The announcement is set for 9:30 a.m. Next year's game will take place at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Chicago Cubs are preparing to make a special announcement Friday morning.
