Cover of Freedman Lew Freedman: Ernie Banks (ePUB)

Ernie Banks is perhaps the most popular ballplayer in the history of the Chicago Cubs–a man as famous for his personality and trademark phrases as for his accomplishments on the field. Nicknamed "Mr. Cub, " Banks won two National League Most Valuable Player awards and slugged 512 home runs, all while battling discrimination and poverty. His conduct away from the field was so exemplary he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Based on extensive research and personal interviews conducted by the author, this biography details the life of the Texas-born shortstop and first baseman, from his childhood playing softball to his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame to his death in 2015.
