Ernie Banks 2012 Topps Prime 9 Home Run Legends Refractor Card # 7

Noted for his cheerful disposition, excellent all-around play and powerful home runs, Ernie Banks was a favorite among Chicago Cubs fans. A 14-time All-Star, he was twice voted National League Most Valuable Player and knocked 512 home runs during his 19-year career with the Cubs. The shortstop and first baseman twice led the league in home runs and RBIs. “Mr.Cub” displayed his perpetual love for the game with his signature phrase, “Let’s play two!” Famed sportswriter Arthur Daley wrote about Banks: “He rejoices merely in living, and baseball is a marvelous extra that makes his existence so much more pleasurable.”
