choo-choo-charlie Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 When I was a little boy my dad taught me all about the baseball greats from his era, including Ernie Banks. Loved reading about Mr. Cub and all the other iconic players from that time period. You just don't see many guys like this anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boss_Tweedy Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 One of the hall of famers I'd always wanted to meet and one of my all-time favorite players. What a class act and a great ambassador for baseball. Godspeed, Mr. Cub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I really hope Cubs honor him with a Double header on a hot summer day in July. It would be perfect. One of the true class acts in all of baseball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
