A public visitation and a memorial service for Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks will be held Friday and Saturday in Chicago, the Cubs announced Monday.
The public visitation will be from noon to 8 p.m. Friday at Fourth Presbyterian Church on East Chestnut Street.
The memorial service will be at the same church, beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday. Limited public seating is available, the team said.
Banks, a Hall of Famer known as “Mr. Cub,” died after suffering a heart attack Friday night, his family said. He was 83.
Banks played all 19 seasons of his major league career in Chicago. He won the National League MVP Award in 1958 and 1959.
