Quote of the day: John Roseboro on Ernie Banks

Ernie Banks

Longtime Los Angeles Dodgers catcher John Roseboro on the perpetually upbeat Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs:

“I used to say to Ernie, ‘Look at the dark sky. It’s cloudy. It’s not a great day.’ And he’d say, ‘There’s a sun behind those clouds, my man.’ ”
