Banks Near Homer Title Chicago (U.R) Twenty-four year old Ernie Banks needs only four more home runs to become the greatest homer-hitting short stop of all-time. At the rate he's been slamming homers over the left field fence in Wrigley Field this week, the Chicago Cubs' sensational short stop could break Vern Stephens old record any day. Banks belted his 34th, 35th and 36th Thursday off three Pittsburgh pitchers to tie Duke Snider of the Brooklyn Dodgers for the major league lead. He needs only three more to tie Stephens' 1949 record of 39." With less than two years of major league experience, Banks joined illustrious baseball greats Babe Ruth and Lou Geh rig when he walloped his fourth grand slam homer of the season Tuesday. He has 43 games left in which to become the first player in history to hit five grand slammers in one season. Banks, who claims he isn't even swinging for the fences, credits his home run splurge to a lighter bat he's using this year.
