RIP Ernie Banks Mr. Cub

[Kenny Cole]

Joe,

I am so sorry for your loss. My dad died August 1 of last year. I think about him every day. My prayers go out to you and your family. Best,

Kenny

Got the news this morning, I'm truly grateful for all that he did for Baseball and the Cubs. It is an honor super collecting his different items. These post are a reminder of why I picked him to make my PC based. You will be truly missed but we will celebrate and never forget the tremendous achievements you made. "Lets play two"

Joe
Prayers and blessings go to you during your grief period.
It's so sad to lose our heroes.

Many of us on the board are getting to that time when we lose our family, friends and sports heroes as time catches up with them.

Maybe we should live like our own heroes did.

RIP Mr. Cub. One of my favorite signed cards in my collection.

Ernie Banks 1954 Topps rookie card is one if the nicest cards ever made

He looks like the embodiment of an excited and thrilled rookie in that image

One of the very first cards I ever owned was a 1956 Topps Ernie Banks. It came in a shoe box collection of about 400 cards that my mom bought at a church rummage sale for 10 cents. Ernie was one of the best people to ever play the game. A sad day.

Ernie Banks, "Mr. Cub", will be greatly missed.

To me, he was "Mr. Baseball"....If you wanted a team with all the attributes of one player, on and off the field, there would be no better choice than Ernie Banks
that's why to me he's "Mr. Baseball"

I met Ernie Banks back in 1968 in an elevator at the Hilton Hotel in Pittsburgh. My Dad took us to a weekend game during the summer. I'll never forget what a kind gentleman Ernie Banks was. I have his autograph around somewhere.

The Ernie Banks statue, having been "in the shop" for repairs, has been moved to downtown Chicago's Daley Plaza. Has been a great gathering place for fans. One gentleman dropped off a KC Monarchs ballcap, many brought flowers, and tonight I'll figure out which of my Ernie Banks baseball cards to part with.
