The Hall of Fame second baseman and current Philadelphia Phillies manager didn't have to wait long to get his alma mater's field named after him. Sandberg, who was a highly touted football player as well, graduated in 1978 and by 1985 his name was on the field - after he won the National League Most Valuable Player award - according to the
North Central High School Alumni Association.
"I was a baseball player at North Central High School in Spokane, Washington even though I was all-city in basketball, even when I signed a letter of intent to play quarterback at Washington State," he said during his induction speech.
