My dad’s favorite player (along with Ted Williams) growing up.

RIP Stan – a great man and ball player .
FYI – the minimal strikeouts was amazing but not uncommon back then . DiMaggio and Berra averaged around 30 plus a year and teddy ball game just around 50 !

Class personified. Stan “The Man” quite certainly belongs on the Mt Rushmore of baseball’s alltime greats.

I was able see him play several times. Class all the way. Today’s spoiled players do not come close to him in any respect.

What a player. There should be a picture of Stan the Man in the dictionary for the words class, consistency, and gentlemanly. No more than forty-six strikeouts in a season? That’s a good month for some people.

It was a different world and a different game, but Stan Musial belongs with a very small group as among the greatest ever to play. He did it all, and he did it with grace and class.
Saw him with my father in his last game at Wrigley, way way back when.
Never struck out more than 46 times, with those offensive numbers? I’ll second that wow, dondada10.

“He did all this while never striking out more than 46 times in a season.”

Wow. Good article, Matt.

A true role model both on and off the field. It’ll be a long time before we see his like again in baseball.

Thanks for this. It would be hard to express what Stan Musial means to the city of St. Louis and to Cardinal Nation, and what they meant to him throughout his career and his retirement. I feel like we’ve all lost a family member today, and it’s nice to see him getting his due. Rest in peace, “perfect knight.”
