Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Ernie Banks was the best power-hitting shortstop in baseball in the 1950s and early 1960s, and probably the most popular player in the history of the Chicago Cubs franchise. His enthusiasm for the game of baseball was legendary. Baseball fans will always remember him as the ballplayer who said, "What a great day for baseball. Let's play two!" For 19 years, Ernie Banks delighted Wrigley Field fans with his long and frequent home runs, with his steady fielding and with his cheerful disposition. Cubs' fans affectionately refer to Ernie Banks as "Mr. Cub," for his years of dedicated service to their team. He belted 512 home runs, five times hitting over 40 in a single season.
