And a swing that would keep him from being drafted or playing in the MLB if he entered the draft today! LOL
The old Corkscrew!

Hi Joey

As a old () Brooklyn Dodger fan. Hey, I was a kid then but old now, Stan Musial kicked our butt.He was too be feared. He was a doubles machine against Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. He was the engineer of just about all St Louis Cardinals scoring rally. Preacher Row had it right to walk him and hope to pick him off. The nickname “Man” came from Brooklyn fans as he was our Daddy of that time. I remember he and Ted Williams retired the same time and in their last games respectively hit home runs. Now Stan Musial is linked in a sad way with Earl Weaver. Stan was a “man of all seasons”. He was also as I remember him very much Mr. Clutch.

Just a sad day.

Stan was the elder statesman of the game. A gentleman in every way.

Earl was well respected too, despite being the only manager not only to be thrown out of a world series game but to be tossed out of both ends of a doubleheader as well.

I spoke to Tim McCarver twice on my job and once asked him what it was like to play with some storied MLB legends- Stan the Man Musial, Roger Maris, Bob Gibson and Lefty Carlton.Tim told me Stan was great, so kind and gracious and revered.
