Regarding the dozens and dozens of anecdotes about people having encountered Ernie Banks, it appears that it doesn’t matter if it was at the ballpark, the grocery store, the subway or the golf course. People recount their stories about Ernie, going back decades, as if they happened yesterday.

Bottom line: This is a good eulogy for anyone — nobody ever forgot the day he or she met Ernie Banks.
