520    Ernie Banks played in fourteen All-Star Games, won two 
       MVPs, and twice led the Major Leagues in home runs and 
       runs batted in... but he spent his entire career with the 
       Chicago Cubs, who didn't win a pennant in his adult 
       lifetime. His enthusiasm endeared him to the fans, but his
       public display of good cheer was a mask that hid a deeply 
       conflicted, melancholy, and often quite lonely man. 
       Rapoport tells of Banks's early life in segregated Dallas,
       his years in the Negro Leagues, and his difficult life 
       after retirement, creating a revealing biography of "Mr 
       Cub". -- adapted from jacket
