Historian presents The Great Ernie Banks, Mr. Cub whose career was from 1953 to 1971. He will always be "Mr. Cub," the most popular player the Cubs ever had. His sunny
personality is legend, as is his refrain on a sunny day: "Let's play two!" The first
black player on the Cubs, Banks came up as a shortstop, where he won consecutive
MVP awards, but actually played more games at first base. He is also one of a handful
of Hall of Famers never to get into postseason play.Please note: many of these broadcasts were originally preserved onto vinyl and are over 50 years old, so the audio quality does vary... but the historical significance & baseball action does not!
