From the early days of the career of Chicago’s all-time favorite baseball star – before he ever said “Let’s Play Two!” This spectacular archival image comes from the 1955 season, Ernie Banks’ second full season in Wrigley Field with the Cubs, when the slugging shortstop hit his stride and began his long, wonderful march to the Hall of Fame. Wearing the old plain-white zipper-top home jerseys that were replaced with pinstripes in 1957, the 24-year-old Banks began earning his nickname that season – “Mr. Cub” – by smashing 44 Home Runs, driving in 117, and earning his first All-Star berth.

Published in poster size exclusively for SportsPosterWarehouse.com, this spectacular vintage classic brings you back to the golden era of baseball, when men like Ernie played hard every day, loved baseball for baseball’s sake, and spent an entire career loyal to one franchise. Printed in crystal-clear quality from the original photographic source, and authorized with an official MLB Authentic serialized hologram, this classic is perfect for the wall of any true fan!
