For such a slight frame, Mr Cub had pretty good power because of his wrists. Lived and died with him, Billy Williams, Ken Holtzman, Ferguson Jenkins, Glenn Beckett, Don Kissinger, Randy Hundley, Ron Santo, Ferguson Jenkins as the stinking Miracle Mets caught them late in the season to win the division that lead to them winning the World Series.
Caught him after he moved to first base but the man was smooth in the field and clutch with power.
Thanks for the memories Ernie Banks. Condolences to his fans, family and friends.
