WOULD BE NICE IF ALL SPORTS PLAYERS WOULD LIVE THEIR LIVES AS STAN THE MAN. WE CAN ONLY HOPE AND PRAY.
You will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with the Musial family at this time.
I got to watch him in early 1960 at colt 45 stadium in Houston Texas. Tried to hit like him but never could very well. Good people.
It's a sad day for the Cardinal Nation, and the city of St. Louis, and baseball fans everywhere. One of the handful of greatest players to ever play this game, and a true gentleman and class act his whole life. The Cardinal family will never be quite the same.
My boyhood idol and the most humble and classiest human being in my lifetime. I will never forget sitting in the left field bleachers during Stan's last game wishing I could get his autograph on my scorecard. Twenty seven years later I was fortunate to get his autograph on that very scorecard. Heaven's baseball team just got one heckuva hitter.
A sad day for Cardinal Nation and ALL of baseball. RIP Mr. Musial
The first baseball game I can remember was Stan's last game, and only because my Dad was so choked up over it. I think Stan came out after his last at bat. A double? Dad did not want us to see him get emotional. Years later, I would meet many more boys born in and around St. Louis in the 50's and early 60's, and it surprised me how many STAN's I met. Did not surprise me at all when Stan Javier broke into the big leaugues. Stan Musial was the kind of man you'd hope your son would grow up to be like -- all baseball aside. God bless all the Stans and Musiuals everywhere -- Paul Wiesler (born in St. Louis in 1958)
May His soul,rest in the Peace that only God can give. he was a wonderful man.

Say it ain't so, Stan. You were the best
