Who? Did he play Cousin Ernie on I Love Lucy or is he the guy who lived with Bert on Sesame Street? Did he pass? Did he pass on? Is he gone? Has he left us?

Posted: 1/24/15 at 1:08amAren't cubs supposed to just be younger bears or the younger partners of bears? I mean, either way, 83 is stretching it. He had to be a bear now whether he wanted to accept it or not..

That guy was more of an otter. Is he okay or has he passed? Did he pass?

Ernie Hudson is still with us...
What makes someone a great cub, though? The way they trim their facial hair, the way they treat their daddy bear, the way they growl?

Great player. Ignore the idiots here who clearly know nothing about sports.

Posted: 1/24/15 at 1:23amOh he DOES look like the Ghostbusters guy. I'm glad he hasn't passed even though Kate Hudson really considered Steven Tyler to be more of a father anyway.

Posted: 1/24/15 at 1:26amI like a cub with a cute smile, a chunky belly, meaty thighs, and a big ass.

For a split second, I thought Ghostbusters as well.Then I remembered he's Hudson, not Banks--and, thankfully, still alive. RIP Mr. Banks.
"...bee in her cooter..." !!
Made me choke on my coffee I laughed so hard!

That was when players played for the love of the game and not money. It was also a time when management went out and improved the team and did not sit on their wallet.Will not attend a game until management (front office & field) are replaced.
To the Wilpons, for your long suffering fans, please SELL THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!

A perfect ending would be for the cubbies to win it all this year and dedicate it to him
Hope to get back to Chicago sometime to see a game @ Wrigley and see the restored Chicago and Oriental theaters. If possible, would also love to see the renovated Avalon/New Regal. Might be a problem as it is in an out of the way area plus it is closed. Ditto for the Uptown.

Namo, you may have actually jumped the shark.
The outpouring of love for Banks is significant. He was a charming, sincere, kind and gentle soul. A true ambassador for the Cubs and Chicago!
The Chicago, Oriental, Palace and the Majestic are all restored to sheer beauty. Excellent historical restoration!
