Let's face it the Chicago Cubs are more inept than the Toronto Maple Leafs. Given the Cubs century of futility, it's only fitting that once again a joyous event in team history is tainted with failure.
As part of Monday's Opening Day festivities, the team unveiled a statue of Ernie Banks outside Wrigley Field. Banks was the National League Most Valuable Player in 1958 and 1959 while playing shortstop. A first-ballot Hall of Famer, Banks played his entire career with the Cubs (1953-1971). He was a 15-time All-Star and won a Gold Glove at shortstop in 1960.
Well it seems along one side of the statue's base, sculptor Lou Cella of Fine Art Studio of Rotblatt-Amrany carved Banks' famous quote "Let's Play Two" into the block of granite. Except he forgot the apostrophe, so it reads, "Lets Play Two."
An engraver came by today and added the missing apostrophe. Still just another reason to dump on the hopeless Cubs.
