We remember the late Ernie Banks' 500th home run.
Unfortunately, Banks never played in a post season game. The Cubs were in first place in August 1969 but fell apart and lost to the Mets down the stretch.
Banks is still one of the most popular players ever to wear a major league uniform: Hall of Fame 1977, 1958 & 1959 NL MVP, 512 HR, 1,636 RBI, 2,583 hits and twice led the NL in HR's.
