I was a Yankees fan back when I was a kid, but I greatly admired Stan Musial.
May he rest in peace.

He and Mickey Mantle were my childhood introductions to the love of the game.

A truly pleasant guy. My father in law and I each met him at separate times, and he was super sweet.

Really sad news. Stan was The Man, both on the field and off. I foundly remember him from baseball's glory days in the 50s and 60s.
RIP.
I also heard today that Earl Weaver, another baseball legend from that era had passed away.

All Star Game...Fenway..1961.My Dad took me.The Red Sox had a rookie pitching sensation named Don Schwall (? spelling) who's pitching to Musial.The count is 3-2 and Musial proceeds to foul off a half dozen pitches.My Dad leans over and says to me "Musial's just toying with this kid".Next pitch...swing and a miss! Fenway goes crazy.
Musial is part of one of the happiest of my many happy memories of my Dad.

he was a first-ballot Hall of Fame selection in 1969, being named on 93 percent of the ballotsI hope that the 7% of writers who didn't vote for him are very proud.

One of the greats from back in the days before the sport was overrun with primadonnas.
Rest in peace, Mr. Musial.

I grew up in baseball heaven in North Jersey during the 40's and 50's...the Yankees,Dodgers and Giants were a very short bus ride away over in the City.
'48 was a great year 'cause it was an election year and all summer long I went to free ballgames courtesy of the Dems one week and the Pubbies the next.I got to see Stan the Man many times in those years.
In 1969 I was at a ball game at the Padres Jack Murphy Stadium while serving aboard USS Constellation,when I got into an elevator as I was leaving the game and I looked at the guy standing next to me and my jaw dropped when I recognized Stan the Man!!
Stan looked at me gaping like a star struck kid and said ,"What!". I croaked out "Hi Stan." He said "Hi." We got off the elevator.
That's it...but it was a big deal to me...c'mon it was Stan the Man!!

This was a great man. It is so sad how sports has devolved with felons and thugs. RIP, Stan the Man.

One of the first baseball cards I ever got as a baseball crazy 10 year old. Along with Nellie Fox, Sherm Lollar, Ted Kluzewski, Eddie Matthews, etc. Those guys were magic to me.
