BREAKING: Cubs legend Ernie Banks, "Mr. Cub," has died.

A truly fine ballplayer and great ambassador for the game. He kind of had a Dale Murphy type career (though longer) in that he had a seven-year stretch when he was All-World before tailing off. NL MVP in 1958 and 1959.

I am now convinced the Cubs will win the world series this year.

The sad truth about the rest of the decade is that baseball is gradually going to be losing the last of its living legends, leaving us with Bonds, Canseco, McGwire....

Cherish every day we have an Aaron, or a Mays, or a Gibson, or a Koufax to hold up against today's pretenders.
