I was actual friends with him on facebook and loved his posts, pictures and things that he was up to. I am in shock....83....he was full of life.
Yes, rest in peace Ernie Banks. The greatest of the modern day Cubs legends and a guy with maybe the greatest positive attitude of any ball player ever. Ernie was always approachable and made time for his fans as well. Just a class act all the way. The baseball world has lost a true prince today.

I was too. He sent a friend request and then sent me pm and said he remembered the time I met him at spring training in 1998 and the again in 2000. Because of the joke we played on Ron Santo at the last game of the season in spring training. It was great to have him a a Facebook friend and to know he remembered me.

He was looking forward to this talented young Cubs group coming up. I am just shocked. I wish this is a fake story but his facebook page shows nothing from January 1st wishing everyone a Happy New Year...ughhhhh.

As much as I dislike the Cubs, Ernie Banks was an exception. Great career, great person off the field.

Ernie Banks was a 100% class act on and off the field. I liken him to the Stan Musial of the Cubs. The eternal face of the franchise. And through much tougher adversity than Musial ever had to deal with, Ernie showed as much poise and class as Stan did throughout their careers.
There's a reason he is called Mr. Cub. He deserves it.
My condolences to Cubs fans everywhere. I know exactly how you're feeling.

Richard, would you be in the position to grab me about 5 copies each of the Sun-Times and the Tribune tomorrow?

As a diehard Cubs fan, this one really hurts. Living in Wrigleyville I walked by the ballpark and snapped this pic. RIP Mr.Cub.

Really sad to hear about his passing. Amazing positive attitude and class act on and off the field. Would be cool if the Cubs could play a home double header every Sept. 17th in honor of Mr. Cub. RIP Ernie Banks.
