If the Cubs wind up winning the World Series this year does Clark wind up being praised in Chicago like some sort of baseball demigod?

Yes

There is no way anyone or anything supplants Ernie Banks for that distinction....Ever!!....whether or not they do somehow go onto to win it all one day again.

LOL!!

I guess the Cubs need something, anything to get attention away from what they put on the field.

 

[tabascojet]

Mascots do not belong in baseball.

Just because the Dodgers don't have one? No one even knows what a Dodger is

The Cubs haven't been taken seriously for a long time. However, they're consistently one of the most followed and liked teams on social media and in sales. So, I'm thinking this is really just a merchandising ploy. It's actually pretty smart on their part.

Dude, get real..of course I have...he was certainly a great cubs player, and decent announcer...but seriously?

C'mon Man....but he was no "Mr. Cub", on or off the field.
And no disrespect to Santo...
Ernie Banks is light years ahead of anyone, and more the face of that team for generations past, present and undoubtedly the future.
