Autographed Rawlings baseball by Ernie BanksPresented is Autographed Rawlings baseball by Ernie Banks. He is regarded as one of the most popular baseball players in Chicago sports history. He was a constant promoter of the Cubs and of daytime play at Wrigley Field. His popularity and positive attitude led to the nicknames "Mr. Cub" and "Mr. Sunshine."
In 1982, his uniform number 14 became the first to be retired by the Cubs. It had already been unofficially retired for nearly 9 years, because it was not assigned to anyone else after Banks' retirement from coaching.
In 1977, in his first year of eligibility, Banks was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
