Ted Zanidakis Stan "The Man" Musial is one of the oldest living BALLPLAYER in the HOF.....he will be 87 this November.
1st nationally issued card.....1947 Bond Bread
The only permanent hi-graded card in my collection happens to be of Stan Musial
And, for the young members on this forum, Musial had quite an unorthodox batting stance that no other
batter had, and it proved to be very effective.
Lifetime BA = .331......with 475 HR's......he easily could have hit 500+ HR's, but that wasn't his style.
Except for one day in Brooklyn, when the NY sports media was critical of his hitting power. So, he shut
them up....with his bat....as, he hit 5-HR's playing in a double-header that day at Ebbetts Field.
