Musial Five HR Scorecards
As much as I cherish these signed scorecards from Stan Musial's five home run doubleheader, I cherish the memory of him spending a few amazing minutes with me talking about that day as he signed. "I should have had six!" he chuckled as he recounted pinning Willie Mays against the center field fence in the second game. "I never tried to hit homers, but in my last at bat I really wanted another one and swung for the fences, but I popped up to first." Then he flashed that famous smile.
An incredible player, a true gentleman, a class act his entire life. The Man.
