Hitting over 450 HRs and over 3500 hits. While hitting over .330, doesn't get much better.

He will be missed.

A fantastic player and a great man.

Just so nice to a very young kid...one of the very first HOFers I met when I was about 10 or 11...asked me about my little league team and what position I played. He was awesome!

Sad day...

Joshua

This is very sad news.
Stan the Man was awesome.

The way he carried himself post-retirement was a model that I wish many other HOFers would have followed.

The Cooperstown Angels just added one of the greatest baseball players of all-time to their roster.

Default Stan Musial

I saw Stan Musial play from 1949 - 1960. I have never forgotten this day in May 1954......Cardinals vs Giants. Stan Musial hit 5 - HR's in a day/night Doubleheader.

Altogether in 8 official AB's....Stan hit 5-HR's, a Single, Walked twice, and he had 9-RBI's......does it ever get much better than that ?

The next day in The Sporting News, we read that some wiseguy New York Sports reporter earlier that day in May had challenged Stan to show off his hitting power.
So, I guess he showed them.

GOD BLESS Stan Musial....and, comfort his family....and, all his fans.

He had a Hall of Fame Life for the way he performed on the field and how he conducted himself off of it.

Default The Man

From what I have heard and witnessed on TV, he was just as good of a person off the field as on. We need more people like Musial in the sports world.

RIP STAN...you will be sorely missed
