- Actor

Extremely likable and popular, Ernie Banks is probably the most popular
baseball player to ever put on a Chicago Cubs uniform. He started
playing for the Cubs in 1953 and from the moment he hit his first home
run, the city of Chicago fell in love with him. Banks started his
career as a shortstop before moving to first base. He had four straight
seasons of 40 or more home runs and was the National League's Most
Valuable Player two consecutive seasons. Banks ended up with a career
total of 512 home runs and was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in
1977.
