Classic Sports Card of The Day

02 Jul

“Let’s play two!”  That was the battle cry of Mr. Cub, Hall of Famer Ernie Banks. Banks’ enthusiasm for the game endeared him with Chicago Cub fans and he remains a favorite to this day. He was one of the all-time greatest shortstops in the game, both in the field and at the plate. This card is from the later years of his career, after he had been moved to first base to save wear and tear on his aging body, while still taking advantage of his potent bat.
