Mr. Cub
The 14-time All Star and Hall of Famer owns franchise records for games played and extra-base hits, and he ranks second in hits, home runs and RBI. Sadly, because he wore Cubbie blue during his entire career (1953–1971), he also holds the dubious Major League record for most games without a postseason appearance (2,528). But that never diminished his love for Wrigley. In fact, upon entering the bigs, Banks says he was so enamored with the Friendly Confines he pleaded with team owner P.K. Wrigley to let him live in the apartment that used to be inside the stadium. “I wanted to stay there whether there was a game or not.”—Tim McCormick
