That's a part of my youth right there. Mom is still a Cubs fan, but I remember Ernie from my youth. Such an always up, positive kind of guy. Weird that this one is hitting me a little hard.
I can remember watching him foul off 5 - 10 balls in a row, just measuring up a pitcher to then hit one out of the park. So good in his prime.
So maybe I need to go to Wrigley this year on a warm, sunny day and think "let's play two today!"
