Ernie Banks, Meet Ernie Banks

Yesterday I heard an interview of Ernie Banks (Mr. Cub) and Ernie Banks on Jonathan Brandmeier's show (around 9am). A coworker heard it too and she called it a "heartwarming interview." It was pretty cool. I believe you can hear the interview on Brandmeier's PodCast. This other Ernie Banks plays for the Washington Wild Things. You can read more about him here. Brandmeier had Mr. Cub on his show and called this young Ernie Banks. The younger Banks was clearly fresh out of bed and was not expecting the call. But he right off expressed his admiration for Mr. Cub.

Missed it by that much.

I did not see that FP, but this was really more to me about the interview by Brandmeier. Give it a listen.
