One of my most vivid memories as a kid was meeting him and Harry Carry in front of Ho Ho Kam park in Arizona. I was 16. Still smile about it this day cause I talked to them for like 10 minutes.
Its weird, usually death brings happiness and I normally can care less when famous people pass, but for some odd reason, I feel joy about this, not that he is dead but that you just know that Ernie Banks was one happy ass dude and lived life as best as anyone could.
