On April 26, 1997, At Wrigley Field, Ryne Sandberg of the Chicago Cubs breaks Hall of Famer Joe Morgan’s major league record for most home runs by a second baseman, Morgan played from 1965 – 1984.  Sandberg’s 267th career home run at the position helps the Cubs to a 7-6 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sandberg hit the first five home runs of his career as a third baseman before moving over to second. The mark will not be broken again until 2004, when Jeff Kent of the Astros records his 268th dinger as a second sacker.
