George Brett --- officially my 2nd favorite player of all time

The man knows talent when he sees it. . .

But perhaps the greatest testimony to Sandberg's prowess came from former Kansas City
Royals third baseman George Brett, who once (uncharacteristically) turned down a night on the
town because the Cubs were on TV. Explained Brett, "I always watch Ryne Sandberg play."

Not sure what paper or TV station the quote originated, but I found it on this Sandberg site:
