Mr. Cub to Speak Tomorrow

by SuperContext on Oct 11, 2006 11:17 AM CDT

Just wanted to alert everyone to an event I became aware of today:

http://www.chicagohistory.org/planavisit/upcomingevents/special-events

Full info is in the link, but Ernie Banks will be appearing (along with Minnie Minoso, a legend associated with that OTHER Chicago baseball club) at the Chicago History Museum tomorrow night. Tickets are relatively inexpensive ($12 I think), especially considering the caliber of the speakers.

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation or Al Yellon, managing editor (unless it's a FanPost posted by Al). FanPost opinions are valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

Maybe he

should be our manager again.

"Again"?

When was he manager before? Other than on, I think, a game or two basis near the end of his playing career, and not even "officially".

That counted

in my eyes.

I still consider him the first black manager whether it's "official" or not.

/Ugh, I so need to do my Int'l Finance case and stop commenting at SB sites :(

When did they change the name?

Until now I never heard of the Chicago History Museum
though I grew up half a mile from the Chicago Historical
Society. I know they just finished a big renovation but
did not know about the name change. I assume they
still have the minature rooms etc that I loved as a kid
( I also miss the classic movies on Sundays but they
stopped about 20 years ago) I guess I can live with
THIS name change but I am NEVER going into
Macy's on State St.

I love the ballpark. I love the city. I love the fans. Aside from how we've played this year, there's nothing not to like about Chicago." Greg Maddux 7/29/06
