Time to play Steve Goodman's "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request".

I have good memories of sitting in the basement watching him play on the black & white tv.

Ernie Banks demonstrated what sports should be about. What a huge loss for Chicago, for baseball and all of sports. RIP

Very sad. Ernie has always been my hero, pure class. I was at the game when Banks hit his 500th home run on May 12, 1970 at Chicago's Wrigley Field. The anticipation was very exciting that day.

As a kid in the 60's we used to walk down the tracks to Wrigley after a game would end & wait for Ernie to walk to his car and he'd always take the time out to talk to us and sign autographs. Jack Brickhouse was there often also. Jack was real nice to us also. Unfortunately my autographs are long gone.

RIP Mr. Cub
