There has never been more of a gentleman to play the game of baseball. He played in the major leagues for 22 seasons and was never ejected from a game. Another amazing stat is that he retired with exactly the same number of hits at home as he did on the road. Out of all of the great players that have ever worn the Cardinal uniform, he stands above them all. Just look at who has the biggest statue outside of Busch Stadium, and see for yourself.

Somehow or another, I'm related to Stan the Man :)

Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful program and the amazing Stan Musial. He will not be forgotten!

@waynebrasler I met him back in the late 70's while in college at our college TV station. SUPER nice person and introduced himself as "Stan the Man" with a very warm and sincere handshake. It was awesome. Told me how night games were tough on him and how he worked on increasing his power numbers to increase his salary. It was unreal how he just opened up about things. He was getting ready to appear on local talk show. Maybe he was getting warmed up.

Perhaps the greatest Cardinal ever. The only other ones I can think of that's close to Stan "The Man" are Rodgers Hornsby and Bob Gibson.

I wish they made shows like this today back then everything was so majestic

@MegaObserver1 He still has a private office at Busch Stadium III as well :)

That guy was totally hitting on stan the man!
Stan was such a handsome devil and, as all we native St. Louisans know, a genuinely nice guy with extraordinary people skills.

Stanley Frank Musial, though not considered fast, was early on called the Donora Greyhound. There is also a great story about Stan when one time he was beseiged by a large group of fans trying to get his autograph as he and his wife Lil left the ballpark. As the fans crowded around they jostled his wife trying to get to Stan, and she in anger pushed back at some of them. A distressed Musial went up to wife and said, please Lillian don't ever do that again, these are my fans.
