One of my favorite players from the ‘60s–my favorite baseball era–is Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs. Banks was the man who allegedly said, “Let’s play two,” symbolizing his love and passion for the game. Ernie played in a day in which players lasted with one team an entire career and is a living legend (along with Ron Santo) for Cub fans around the world.
This clip was shot at the Futures Game. A few days later, we saw him in the sushi bar at the Westin Hotel in Pittsburgh (where most of the players stayed). It is impossible to believe he is 75 years old.
