Ernie Banks Dies At 83

++ Baseball's goodwill ambassador, Mr. Cub has died. Ernie Banks was the first black player for the Chicago Cubs and played with that franchise his whole career. An all-star shortstop, I saw him play first base at Wrigley Field in the twilight of his career when I was at the University of Chicago.  Classy guy and a great ballplayer. He'll be missed.
