Mr. Cub lands on Sports Illustrated's cover

Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks, made the cover of Sports Illustrated's annual 'Where Are They Now?' issue, which comes out this week.

SI writer Rich Cohen takes a look into what made Banks a household name. While Banks failed to win was a championship during his 19 seasons with the Cubs, he earned 2 MVP awards, and 11 All-Star appearanced. His outlook on winning and relaxed approach to life, however, established him as a valuable lesson to all, and resonates just as positively with Cubs fans today, Cohen writes.
