A well written eulogy for a great man. Brought tears to my eyes.

Just finished watching the eulogy, and once again I hear my wife, "Are you crying over baseball, again?" Through tear filled eyes I choked out a, "no."

Default Costas Musial Eulogy
As good a eulogy that a human being can receive.Eloquent,captured the essence of the man .The fact that Stan had previously asked Costas to deliver that on the day of the event made it all the more special for all of us.I've watched it twice and I am not done.Brings a few tears each time it is viewed and if it doesn't,you don't have a pulse.

Imagine Bob Costas as commissioner of baseball instead of the toad Bud Selig. To have someone who actually "gets" what baseball is all about and represents, wouldn't that be wonderful...
