I will admit I don't have any memory of seeing "Mr. Cub", Ernie Banks, play against the Mets at the end of his career. However, the Cubs could use a few more men like Banks to rejuvenate their current roster, as the Cubs have become near-perennial doormats in the National League Central.
Banks passed away Friday at 83. To honor his memory, I located a video montage of Banks hitting home run numbers 498-500.
I might've seen Banks at a few Mets Old Timer's Day events on TV, but that's about it.
Rest in peace, Mr. Cub. You've earned it.
