The great Ernie Banks was born in Dallas, Texas, on this day in 1931. He died in 2014.
My guess is that most people don't know much about his younger days in Dallas, Texas.
Over the years, I've seen some great players in person and TV. Sadly, I never got to see Ernie Banks in person but do recall hearing #500 on WGN radio.
Banks was a great player. Better than that, he was a great human being.
We will miss Ernie Banks for a long time.
