Cardinals Hall of Fame Shortstop Ozzie Smith has endorsed Ryne Sandberg as a candidate to become the next manager of the Cubs.
"To me, there's one guy," Smith told the Quad City Times. "He has paid his dues. He has been a stand-up citizen. He is a Hall of Famer. I don't know exactly what it is they are looking for, but I think it should be a no-brainer."
Chicago general manager Jim Hendry already said Sandberg, who manages the Cubs' Triple-A team in Iowa and has spent four years managing in the minors, will get an interview.
