Just the greatest on and off the field...well said! Watching these wonderful videos brought tears of joy to this 73 yr. old kid I live with!!!

My dad grew up a Musial fan as a kid in 1950s & 60s Kansas. There were no Kansas City Royals or Colorado Rockies to root for. St. Louis was everyone's ball club.

Musial was a class act. Very few genuinely likeable athletes like that around these days. Not that everyone was a saint back then either, but they sure seemed a bit less aloof.

Stan Musial at his final game in the majors was better than any over paid, juiced up players of today or in the past 25 years or so. He also had character and CLASS on and off the field. It is too bad that the kids who follow baseball today or a few years back now think of players like A Roid, McGuire, Sosa or Bonds as their idols. RIP Mr. Musial. You were one of the all time Greats!!

Lifelong Cardinals fan here, he'll be missed on opening day, it's going to be a mixed feeling kind of day.

Most baseball experts rate him very high on the list of all-time greats; but, many also believe, if he had played in New York, he would have been at or near the top.

A true gentleman... If you watch Bob Costa's eulogy at Stan's funeral, it will change your life! It was so motivational and endearing at how great of a man he actually was...

I can still recall as a young boy sitting on the porch during a hot summer's night listening on the radio back in the early 1950's .. the immortal Stan 'The Man' Musial coming to bat & drills a double to win an extra inning game .. Those Were The Days .. Thanks Mr.Musial .. R.I.P !

There will never be another Stan. 

RIP.

Funny to listen to the talk of Musial and Rose - 2 guys who could not have been more different.
