Chicago, Illinois is home to the 60606 zip code:
He died while the Cubs were in Milwaukee to play the Brewers in a match-up between the two best records in the National League. Milwaukee is where the 1989 movie Major League was filmed.

Alt+227 on a Windows keyboard gives you the Pi symbol. 3.14 is connected directly to the number 227 in both mathematics and gematria.
With an 8-4 victory, Milwaukee secured its 227th win of all-time over the Cubs:
Game 7 of the World Series was 7 months, 22 days before the date of the Sandberg Game, which was 2 months, 27 days before Ryne’s birthday:

Six hundred threescore and six is how the number of the Beast is spelled out in the 229th verse of Revelation in the King James Bible:

Life of Pi has a publish date of 9/11/01:
Sandberg died on a date with Primary numerology of 80:
