The Chicago Cubs are showing the late Ernie Banks some love by plastering his likeness all over a massive tarp covering an unfinished section of seats at Wrigley Field.
The hall-of-famer, who passed away in January at age 83, is revered in Chicago and often referred to as “Mr. Cub”. The team’s official twitter feed posted the following photos:
