Ernie is my image of the first baseman. I can still see him stretch at first, take the routine throw from the infield and of course, swing the bat and hit the ball with a smooth snap of the wrists. Look up Ernie Banks over at Ram On for more.
Convenient to say when you play for the Cubs as long as he did and never get anywhere near the playoffs except 1969. Sort of like a frankenstein face insisting “beauty is only skin deep.“
Love the quote, love the card.
