:?: I'm doing some research on Ernie Banks and I was hoping someone could give me a history lesson on Mr. Cub, since I wasn't around during his career. What I really am looking for is what years the Cubs had a shot at the pennant while he was playing, and what teams or memorable games took them out of the race. So far I only know 1969 was a close one, but I think 1960-62 had some history too. Specifics would be great...about games and seasons, and especially Mr. Banks. Thanks so much!
