Like all players that had long been enshrined in the Hall of Fame by the time I could be bothered to be born, I have never seen him play, or even footage of it, and I haven't been around baseball for more than five years at all. I know about the numbers, but I also know something else:

I have yet to find anybody, or any place, where anything negative would have been said or written about Ernie Banks.

May he rest in peace where he is now, and play two from time to time.
