The only time I saw him play in person was in the 1962 All Star Game in DC. I was 11. It was Musial's next to last year and he came up as a pinch hitter in the 6th inning. I remember vividly my Dad nudging me and saying, "Musial's coming up." He promptly hit a line drive single to right field, and was then replaced for a pinch runner. It's a fond memory of both Stan the Man and my Dad I'll carry with me for the rest of my days.

RIP Stan the Man.

Sad to hear that.

I have a large mural in my card room that has about 15 or so cards painted on it. Stan's 59 is one of them. Hate to see another one of my faves pass on!

very sad news, indeed.
i saw him play when I was a boy, collected his cards ravenously, and knew I was lucky to see one of the best ever.
my deepest sympathy to his family, friends, fans.

A sad day for baseball. The passing of a great ball player and a true gentleman.

You are a child of the universe,

you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.

Sad news indeed. Certainly was an icon. He missed the '45 season due to the military otherwise would have topped 500 hr and 2000 rbi. Kinda funny that Reggie Jackson struck out nearly 2000 more times than Stan The Man.
