Maybe if he'd been a little friendlier and/or approachable, he wouldn't be so "underrated." I think "underrated" is the wrong word here. People know that Murray and Banks both were great players. Your assertion that Banks isn't well-known outside of Chicago is laughable. If you want underrated, how about Phil Rizzuto. The Scooter had to wait forever to get into the Hall of Fame. This, despite Ted Williams saying that if the Red Sox had Rizzuto on their team, THEY would have won all of those World Series back in the 1950s. Can't get a much better endorsement than that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935801154766751358.post-76446528218891465952013-09-13T16:53:50.736-04:002013-09-13T16:53:50.736-04:00Personally, I have a hard time calling Ernie Banks...Personally, I have a hard time calling Ernie Banks underrated, but he certainly was overshadowed by Mays and Aaron. Here's another suggestion for you in this category: pitcher Stan Coveleski. He won 20 five times and 214 over his career, and threw three complete game victories in the 1920 World Series. Not quite as dominating as Big Ed Walsh, but not too shabby.Matt Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171715051853671712noreply@blogger.com
