Ernie Banks

Mr. Cub began his career in the Negro Leagues, playing his first professional season for the Kansas City Monarchs. Banks then spent the next two years in the U.S. military and wouldnt begin his career in MLB until September 1953. It didnt take him long to make a splash, as he was the NL Rookie of the Year runner up in 1954. From that point forward, Banks would become a 14 time All Star and two time NL MVP.
