Why did Ernie Banks switch from SS to 1B in 1962?
Looks like he made the permanent switch in 1962.
In 1961 his Fielding Runs Above Replacement was 9 and his fielding percentage was about at his norm for his SS playing days (.965) and above the league average of .959.
Any information would be awesome. No reason for my inquiry other than simple curiosity. Thanks!
