Musial wore 6 for the few games he played in 41. Walker was first called up in 1940. He played in less than 10 games in 40 and 41. I can only assume he wasn't on the roster in 41 when Musial was called up as Musial was given #6 for his brief stint in 41. At spring training, Walker took 6 back, leaving Musial with 19. When Walker later opted for 10, Musial took 6 back. Interestingly, Walker was projected to be the next Cardinal superstar.
