Is this one when Musial hit a liner right back at Spahn and hit him in the gut knocking him down?
Spahn got up, got the ball and threw Musial out at first.
Spahn and Musial were the ultimate competitors who had respect for each other. Here’s a quote from Musial:
“I don’t think (Warren) Spahn will ever get into the Hall of Fame. He’ll never stop pitching.”
1950s baseball was incredible. I watched Spahn pitch when I was a little kid against players like Mantle, Dusty Rhodes, Musial and Ted Williams.
It was a great time to be a baseball fan.
As for your recollection with Musial hitting Spahn in the gut, why not? I love the story.
