I don't do this often enough, a lot like the title, but I saw this over at the currently team owned newspaper Banks statue details Of course, it's probably been posted already, discussed a hundred times over, and recycled into the abyss that is the vast interweb. The statue is long overdue by the way.

The choicest cut, if the article were a slab of beef, would be this tidbit:

"I don't think it will come as any great shock that it will be Ernie standing with the bat in his hands, and with his wiggling fingers and cocked wrists, as Jack Brickhouse would say," said Cella, who was the co-sculptor of the Harry Caray statue at Sheffield and Addison. Since statues are the latest greatest trend, even the Sox are building another statue (for Billy Pierce in July), I wonder what it would cost to get a statue built for "The Mad Russian," Lou Novikoff??? Or maybe I could save pennies in a glass and redeem them for a Greg Maddux/Fergie Jenkins pitcher statue, after all hitters get all the pub, but pitchers finish ballgames, unless it's a ninth inning come from behind rally, doh!

This is my second foray into actually posting a an entry. The first time wasn't too successful using the search to see if anyone else had made a posting regarding the same subject matter. This time I am hoping (fingers crossed)that I've done my due diligence and properly used the search feature...

I came upon this game over at minorleague baseball that is in the spirit of "march madness."
The task, if you choose to play, is to vote for the best name in minor league baseball.

It's over here:
