1947-66 Exhibits, Ernie Banks.
Ernie Banks' iconic catchphrase, "It's a beautiful day for a ballgame, let's play two!" originated from his love of baseball and his positive attitude towards the game. The phrase was notably said on a very hot day in July 1969, in Chicago, when the team was feeling down, and it became a spontaneous remark that writers noted and the phrase stuck as his signature line.
I adore this Exhibit card of Ernie - it's one of my favorite cards.🥰
