No matter the age, I'm never prepared when I hear that a legend has passed away.

Not trying to be disrespectful, just saying that "too soon" shouldn't apply considering how many other athletes we've lost at a early age.

Just ran across this cool video of Ernie Banks being introduced by Eddie Vedder during a 2013 Pearl Jam concert at Wrigley Field:

Completely understand. I'm happy he seemed to have lived a very full life.

I used to watch this show when I was a kid. It looks kind of cheesy now, but I looked forward to watching every week when I was a youngster:
