He was 83. The announcement came Friday evening from attorney Mark Bogen, who said he was authorized by Banks' widow to confirm the news to the media. A news conference was planned for Sunday at noon in Chicago. Known for his fun-loving, positive attitude, "Mr. Cub" broke into Major League Baseball for the Cubs in 1953, CBS Sports reported. Over the course of a 19-year career, all of which came with the Cubs, Banks would hit .274 overall with 407 doubles, 512 homers and 1,636 RBI. He also racked up 2,583 hits and 1,305 runs. Chicago Cubs first baseman Ernie Banks looks toward the outfield fences of Wrigley Field on May 11, 1970 AP PHOTO The 12-time All-Star and two-time MVP led the National League in homers and RBI twice each and is still one of the best power-hitting shortstops in history -- though he moved to first base for the second portion of his career due to knee issues. In 1977, Banks was inducted into Baseball's Hall of Fame in his first ballot, receiving 83.8 percent of the vote. With Banks, though, the stats only tell a portion of the tale. His infectious personality won over the hearts of Cubs and opposing fans alike for years, despite him being stuck on so many bad Cubs teams. "Let's play two," he liked to say, suggesting a doubleheader was always better than just a single game in one day. For all of Banks' effort and brilliance, he never made the postseason once in his career. He almost did in 1969, before the Cubs infamously blew a big division lead over the Mets by losing 17 of their last 25 games. In 1982, Banks had his No. 14 jersey retired, the first Cubs player to receive such an honor. In 2008, the Cubs unveiled a statue outside Wrigley Field that honored him. President Obama awarded Banks the Presidential Medal of Freedom in November 2013. __________________________________________________________ 雖說不算是英年早逝..但等不到這批年輕熊打進 WS 真的是很可惜 R.I.P.
