First sentence: BEFORE ERNIE BANKS, the shining light of Chicago Cubs baseball was Charles Leo Hartnett, who picked up the ironic nickname "Gabby" because as a Cubs rookie in 1922, he was shy and reticent in the presence of such hardened veterans as Charlie Hollocher, Bob O'Farrell, and Grover Cleveland Alexander.
