The card had a breakdown of how Ernie Banks played against each of the other seven National League teams in 1957.
He played his best against the Brooklyn Dodgers where in 83 at bats he scored 15 runs on 25 hits including 5 doubles and 11 HOME RUNS for a .301 batting average and 26 rbi and the Pittsburgh Pirates with 93 at bats, 33 hits and 8 HOME RUNS for a .355 batting average and 15 rbis.
His overall stats for 1957: 156 games, 594 abs, 113 runs, 169 hits, 34 doubles, 6 triples, 43 home runs, 103 rbis and .285 batting average.
Not bad for a shortstop, however, when I started watching the Cubs in 1964, he was always the first baseman.
A Great Has Left Us.
