May Become Great Hitter Banks Sees Bright Cubs Future
Ernie Banks, a tall skinny Chicago Cubs shortstop, is hailed by manager Stan Hack as potentially one of the game's great power hitters. Banks, after hitting his 30th homer and driving in 2 runs to lift his RBI total to 73, is noted for a .290 average as Chicago lost to Philadelphia 6 4. Hack says Banks could set a new record this year and remains confident in his future despite historic shortstop benchmarks. Banks previously broke the NL shortstop home run mark with 22 in 1930 and joined the Cubs from the Kansas City Monarchs in 1953.
