Ernie Banks Loves Life, People and Baseball…
In That Order
Just as he did during his 19 year playing career, when he became known for saying "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame…Let's Play Two," Mr. Cub™ Ernie Banks has approached life after baseball with his trademark enthusiasm and commitment to being the best…while always aspiring to bring out the best in others. Ernie has remained loyal and actively involved with Major League Baseball for more than 55 years, serving as an unofficial ambassador for the sport everywhere his global travels take him.
“Mr. Cub™” Ernie Banks and his wife Liz Banks were special guests at The Volunteer Center’s Golden Gala as the non-profit organization celebrated its achievements over the past 50 years as the first Volunteer Center in the state of Illinois.
