ST. LOUIS (AP) — Stan Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals star with the corkscrew stance and too many batting records to fit on his Hall of Fame plaque, died Saturday. He was 92. He deserves to be better known after all this time. Look him up. I’ll wait.
My favorite Stan Musial story involved my father. He had travelled to St. Lous on business. On his return he couldn’t wait to tell everyone that he had seen Musial hit a home run. It turned out to be the last one Musial hit as he retired at the end of the year. My father finished his tale by saying “Oh, and someone took me to the Playboy Club”. Stan Musial home run vs Playboy Club. Tough call.
