If I may for once on this site since 1988 - Stan ways my hero. The only hero that I remember. I was so fortunate to be able to listen to Jack Buck Harry Carry & Joe Carargiola (sp) on the same broadcast. My father had a 59 Oldsmobile & living in central Nebraska the closest station was in St. Joe, Missouri. I would sit in the car & run the battery down because normal radio was too weak. I could hear Carry saying, Here's Musial, and he seemed to always come thru with the hit to win the game. Yes, he & Bob Hope are two individuals that took a part of me away with their passing on. May he rest in peace.

May he rest in peace. One of the greatest ever to play the game, and a gentleman both on and off the field.

From this American of half Polish heritage to a legendary baseball player of Polish heritage, RIP.

I was lucky enough to see Stan Musial play in his last season in 1963 at Sportsmans' Park in St. Louis. My dad & I would pile into the car early on a Sat or Sun morning for the 5-hour drive from Western KY to St. Louis to catch (if we were lucky) a double-header.
My dad later met Stan at his restaurant, Stan & Biggies', in St. Louis and got an autographed B&W photo of Stan. My dad still treasures it to this day.

The only baseball I ever got at a game was thrown up into the stands by Stan during batting practice, it bounced off of the hands of the guy in front of me and I caught it. I was a young boy and it made my day. RIP Stan.

Met Musial at a political rally back in the early sixties. I was a teenager and can’t remember what Governor the rally was supporting. I do remember I had my first ever cup of beer.
