And there are a handful of Hall of Fame 2nd baeman who have a lifetime batting average of under .290. The best Hall of Famer you can compare Sandberg too IMO, is someone who most think is the greatest 2nd baseman of all-time, Joe Morgan. I think Hornsby is the greatest, but that's another story. Anyway, Morgan's and Sandberg's #'s are very similar. Morgan has a .271 lifetime average, 2,517 hits, .427 slugging %, .395 OBP, and 268 homers. Sandberg has a .285 average, 2,386 hits, .452 slugging, .344 OBP and 282 homers. So you can that Sandberg is very close in numbers to one of the greatest 2nd baseman ever.

Greatest 2b... again, I am a Sandberg fan.. but I gotta go Carew... I'm a little biased since he's my alltime fav player.
