Over 40 Hall of Famers will be honored on the field prior to the Midsummer Classic on Tuesday, July 15th in reverence to the history and splendor of Yankee Stadium. The pregame ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. (EDT) and will be aired live on FOX.

Each day, a Hall of Famer who will participate in the pregame celebration will relay his thoughts and reflections on "The House That Ruth Built." Today's quote comes from Ryne Sandberg, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005.

"I've never been to Yankee Stadium, much less played a game there, so to be a part of this pregame ceremony in the final year of Yankee Stadium is an incredible honor. It's a personal thrill and I'm very much looking forward to being part of the event. The Stadium has played host to so many memorable moments in baseball history. To be there along with so many Hall of Fame greats will be a very exciting time."
