- Baseball player Ernie Banks was born on January 31, 1931 in Dallas, Texas. At age seventeen, he signed up to play with a Negro barnstorming team. In 1953, the Chicago Cubs recruited Banks from the Negro League into the majors. He hit his first home run on September 20, 1953, beginning a long career as the Cubs' most beloved player. From 1955 to 1960, Ernie Banks hit more homeruns than anyone in the majors, finishing his career with five seasons of forty or more home runs. In 1959, he became the first player in league history to win consecutive Most Valuable Player trophies. Banks was the first Cub whose number was retired. In 1977, six years after his retirement, Ernie Banks was elected into the Hall of Fame. Banks was honored with a statue of his likeness at Wrigley Field.
