Attachment 2475

One of my most vivid memories as a kid was meeting him and Harry Carry in front of Ho Ho Kam park in Arizona. I was 16. Still smile about it this day cause I talked to them for like 10 minutes.

Its weird, usually death brings happiness and I normally can care less when famous people pass, but for some odd reason, I feel joy about this, not that he is dead but that you just know that Ernie Banks was one happy ass dude and lived life as best as anyone could.

God Bless and if everyone lived like him it would be a great world. Reminds me of a black Brockguy;)

Very sad to hear about the passing of Mr. Cub Ernie Banks. Baseball has just lost one of it's all-time greats.
