The standard against which all other players should be judged against. His Cardinals beat DiMaggio's Yankees and Williams' Red Sox in the World Series. Seven batting titles. A .331 career batting average. A speedster? Well, he hit over 180 triples. Held by himself or shared 17 major league records when he retired. We won't see too many like him in the future.
MAN!!!! what a kind and gracious human being that Stan was! he is the whole entire reason why I became a die-hard Cardinals fan over 10 years ago. Thank you, Stan!
I always wonder why there weren't or aren't Stan Musial's like him. I think about Fred Lynn and after his great year of 1975, they all started to compare him to Stan. There is only one Stan and trying to get players to be like him, just can't be done. I do think in terms of talent, Fred was a better defensive player but Stan just had that charisma that his teammates respected.
You know that Stan "The Man" Musial would never pull shit like like McGwire and Albert did that's why he Stan "the man" and the best first baseman in the modern era.
@44Snyder i played high school ball in Maryland (i'm from Toronto), my coach always called me Brooks, i played 3rd base and he would tell me that Brooks was a great defensive player...to be honest i was only 19 and dind't know who Brooks was... but once i did some research i realized it was a very high compliment. i remember the O's from the late 70's - Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray... Earl Weaver as Manager .... What happened to the once great Orioles? Why do people like Peter Angelos so much?
Stan Musial = the most underrated and liked player in baseball of all time. I wish I could of saw him play :(
As a life long Orioles fan, we always feel the same way about Brooks Robinson. It's a shame today's players don't act like these heroes of yesteryear.
Mike Shannon said it best: "Not only is Stan a Hall of Fame player, but he's also a Hall of Fame person." #6 is the extreme opposite of Barry Bonds.
Ty for this...
We're missing you Stan, especially on opening day!!! You are the best!
"Anyone who says hi to me gets an autograph" what a genuine man. They don't make too many Stan Musial's anymore.
There goes the nicest man to ever play baseball
Agreed! Just his presence made you want to be a better individual. Stan is my baseball hero. Go Cards!!!!

What a great down to earth guy. Never heard a bad thing about him. Ty Cobb had him at the top too, of latter generation ball players.
R.I.P. Mr. Musial...
I'm a die-hard Yankee fan but have always been a great admirer of 'Stan the Man'!!!
May God Bless Him...
Bad day for Baseball. Earl Weaver earlier today... and now Stan the Man. RIP to both

Stan the Man, one of the greatest Jewish athletes of all time. May the memory of the righteous be a blessing.
Greatest Cardinal of all time, and easily one of the coolest guys to ever play the game. He was always humble and put the fans first.
R.I.P. One of the best to ever play.
On fan in Ebbets field once said, "Oh, no, here comes That Man again"
Thus his nickname!
