Stan 'The Man' Musial Dies
The greatest Cardinal of all-time. May he rest in peace.
STAN 'THE MAN' MUSIAL DIES: NO. 6 WAS GREATEST CARDINAL The Ebbets Field faithful in Brooklyn were the first to call Stan Musial “The Man” after Musial had ravaged their beloved Dodgers time and again in the late 1940s. On one occasion, Post-Dispatch baseball writer Bob Broeg incorporated “The Man” into his game account. And that was how Musial forever after was referred to in St. Louis: “Stan the Man.” http://www.stltoday.com/sports/baseb...97f7a263a.html

RIP Stan The Man. Many memories hearing Harry Caray talk about Stan Musial and Red Shoendeinst during those Cubs/Cards games. Great hitter, great person, legend.

he probably looks even better on moneyball stats than he did on the traditional ones.
