Fun to watch and a great player. Too bad he was stuck in Chicago. In New York, he would have been a baseball god.

Ernie won MVP honors after leading the National League in RBI's from 1958-1959. In 1960 he led the senior circuit in home runs while also winning his first Gold Glove award. Eleven years later, he became the first Cub ever to have his number retired.

Growing up in the Chicagoland area,I had the good fortune of seeing him play every day either in person or on WGN. I followed his career as it progressed. One of the greatest EVER!!! Deverves this ranking. PERIOD!!

The last 12 years of his career were basically throwaway years.. I'm not sure his career up until 1960 was enough to make him an all time great.

I'm rating him for sentimental reasons. My Dad took me to my first baseball game when I was only 10. It was in Chicago and they had Ernie Banks Day that day, and gave him a new convertible. As usual, the Cubs lost, but it was a privilege to watch him play.

One of the most gifted and versatile players of his era (I think he wound up around 500 HRs, and spent most of his career at short). More than that, he's the personification of the Cubbies -- full of enthusiasm and class. He'd say "let's play 2!" even though the Cubs were likely to lose them both!
