I saw Stan Musial play from 1949 - 1960. I have never forgotten this day in May 1954......Cardinals vs Giants. Stan Musial hit 5 - HR's in a day/night Doubleheader.
Altogether in 8 official AB's....Stan hit 5-HR's, a Single, Walked twice, and he had 9-RBI's......does it ever get much better than that ?
The next day in The Sporting News, we read that some wiseguy New York Sports reporter earlier that day in May had challenged Stan to show off his hitting power.
So, I guess he showed them.
GOD BLESS Stan Musial....and, comfort his family....and, all his fans.
