"Then Durocher paused a moment and admitted that even if Banks hadn't been suffering from indigestion, "I would have "hit for him "It was a pressure situation, precisely the kind that once would have brought comfort to Cub fans and a chill to the opposing pitcher. The Cubs were trailing by one run, with no outs in the eighth inning, runners at first and third, and a lefthander on the mound. "But at 40 years of age, Banks is no longer a dangerous threat. He is troubled by arthritic knees and an anemic batting average. He can still hit the ball as he proved in spring training but he has lost, most of his speed and is quite easy to double up, a fact that is also apparent to opposing managers who prefer pitching to him in double play situations.

"The only previous time that Ernie was lifted for a pinch-hitter was on' April 21, 1954, at Milwaukee. Eddie Miksis batted for him and grounded out. The pitcher was Warren Spahn. "Banks did not view the situation with undue alarm and insisted he still could do the job and help the club," Holtzman noted. "I can give reasons why I'm not doing too he said, 'but I won't because then it seems like you're building monuments of nothing when you give such reasons.

I'm not discouraged. Baseball is still fun to me and I'll keep playing as long as I'm "Then Banks added, 'If I'm not wanted anymore, well, then, in that case I guess I'll just have to move Time, inevitably, marches on. Yet, despite this inescapable reality, there always is a twinge of regret when a superstar nears the end of the trail. Particularly when the "victim" is such as Ernie Banks, the ever-smiling Chicago Cub first baseman who has struck 509 home runs in the process of becoming to baseball what Bart Starr is to football the perennial Mr. Nice Guy.

An incredibly sunny citizen whose enthusiasm is infectious, Banks long has daily announced with exuberance, "It's a great day for ball let's play three today." These days, ironically, Ernie is fortunate to even man an appearance for his beloved Cubs. He is spending his afternoons (and-or evenings, as the case may be) in a quiet corner of the dugout, having yielded his starting assignment to Jim Hickman. The handwriting is clearly on the wall for Mr. Cub, an unfailingly courteous athlete who has never been known to refuse an autograph, according to a dispatch from Chicago sportswriter Jerome Holtzman in the latest issue of The Sporting News. "The end of the Ernie Banks Era was clearly in sight when Manager Leo Durocher had to put in a pinch-hitter for him," Holtzman observed.

"It was the first time since 1954, his rookie season, that Banks was called back to the bench and had someone hit for him. Durocher was somewhat apologetic and, after the game, told newsmen, 'I did it for two reasons. No. 1, he had an upset stomach, and No. 2, also to keep out of the double ers Association.
