Seriously, i thought Stan Lee died.

[Kenglo1]

Oh yeah, the title just read Stan "the man" and I feared the worst.

I went to a Cardinal home opener 4 years ago where Stan rode out in a golf cart.

He got out near home and took an imaginary swing and the crowd went crazy.

He was the real deal.

I had to see it here it was the baseball player.

 

I thought he was talking about Stan Lee.

Just another thing Stan ripped off and claimed it as his own.

RIP.

He was before my time, but I remember seeing ads on the backs of Walt Disneys Comics and Stories during the 50's with him promoting Wheaties cereal or some such product. He was one of the greats

[TSwift25]

It's either him or Frank Robinson as the most under-appreciated "great" player of all time.

 

Terrible day for baseball to lose both him and Earl Weaver.

+1,000,000

 

My heart just totally skipped a beat. Took a year off my life.

Here is Musial reading newspaper comics in 1973.

Early in the season of 1951, not long after 20-year-old Willie Mays first was called up to the New York Giants, manager Leo Durocher met with the young slugger to go over the opposing hitters for that day. The Giants were playing the St. Louis Cardinals, and Durocher briefed Mays on the Cards' lineup, telling Mays how to play the first hitter, then the second hitter and then the fourth hitter.

 

 

 

"What about number three?" Mays asked.

 

 

 

"The third hitter is Stan Musial," Durocher told him. "There is no advice I can give you about him."
