Yes, one of the great ones but hardly ever mentioned.

He was a great player, but I didn't know he was still alive, because he hasn't been in the news much.

Ernie Banks was a superb athlete, a magnificent ball player, and conducted himself with dignity. RIP.

He would show up at Cubs games from time to time, but was pretty quiet in his life away from baseball. He and Sandberg are who I think of when I think of the Cubs.

For the last 30 years I've been telling myself to go to the Cubs Convention and get his autograph. D'oh.
