Did anyone on FR see "The Man" play in person? I saw my first major league game in 1950 the Cardinals vs the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Bottom of the 2nd inning Stan led off and hit the first pitch over the screen in right field. I would have been satisfied to leave right then for the 200 mile trip home.
I was there for Stan's last at bat, a single off Jim Maloney.

Wow! So many memories.
Wish I'd seen "The Man" in action, or in person.
Envious of the FReepers who did.

Not to be a nit, but I checked the box scores from 1950 and did not see any St. Louis - Brooklyn game with Musial hitting a home run in the bottom of the 2nd. Baseball-reference.com has box scores of each game going back to 1916. Great website to waste an afternoon.
