RIP Ernie Banks Mr. Cub
just read this on line and verified it on WGN ans ABC Chicago. Baseball lost a legend at the age of 83. I met him a couple of times and he was always a gentleman. Used to love it when he said "Let's Play Two". He will be missed

That sucks. I met him twice at shows and he was always friendly and took time to say Hello while signing.

Oh crap
Are you kidding me? Omg He was the nicest player I ever dealt with. Every time I would talk to him he would ask how my mom was,he called me after my dad died , spoke to him 3 months ago and he asked how jennifer was ( my first wife the one he met). Couldn't believe he remembered her name. Made a joke when I told him I had a baby (at 48) . Would always tell me I am working to hard and enjoy life. Ugh. Did not know he was ill. This is horrible.

My dad spent some time as a kid in Chicago...Banks was his favorite player. Heard so many stories about him and Billy Williams growing up. Great player and great ambassador for the game. Condolences to Wrigglyville

Man, just earlier today I posted in the 'January Pickups' thread in the post-war section a scan of my newly acquired 1964 Topps Stand-Up Ernie Banks and I remarked how Mr. Cub added class to my collection. Wow. And now he passes away?? What a terrific human being and a terrible loss to the world.

Not many stars remained as great a gentleman as Ernie did.
We've all suffered a great loss, but... They'll be playing two in heaven from now on...

RIP to the Great Mr. Cub. I recall a show years back in Waterbury CT when there was a fairly good snow storm. I made it there, Show was on, about 40 collectors came in. Ernie had arrived nite earlier on first night of show, and comes down and says " Hey, thanks for coming in this storm, We should play two" then he lead everyone in Take me out to the Ballgame and told a couple stories before signing. Never forgot that experience. Wonderful Classy man..

Spent the evening making this framed 3D collage to donate to the Banks memorial. Hard to part with my 1956 Jet magazine...I sure hope the Cubs don't throw all this stuff out at the end.
