I grew up on the north side of Chicago, thus a Cubs fan, and Ernie Banks was our hero. But on the south side, Minnie Minoso was to the Sox what Ernie Banks was to the Cubs: A legend and a hero in Chicago. And now we have lost them both in the same winter.

I remember Orestes from the PCL Padres.

I remember Minnie playing against the Tribe in Cleveland when I was a kid. He was a fine player and a class act. I haven't thought about him in decades but sad to hear of a link to the past being eradicated.

The article didn’t mention that Minnie also played with the Pacific Coast League (Triple-A) San Diego Padres.

I grew up in Rogers Park and moved to Evanston in 1968. Minnie’s son was a terrific athlete at ETHS. Unfortunately, he was too small for football and basketball, and he could not hit a curveball.
Ernie is Mr. Cub. There is no one who can compare.

I have an unofficial personal baseball Hall of Fame reserved for players who meant something to me, regardless of whether their stats warranted the real Hall of Fame. Minnie Minoso was always in my personal Hall of Fame. Others include Ryne Duren, Ted Kluszewski, Rocky Colavito, Smokey Burgess, Elston Howard, and Joe Adcock.

Minoso Led the league in being hit by pitches ten times. I wonder if that’s the all-time record?
