Musial hit his 400th home run in May of 1959. Pepper Martin would have been 55. I think I would have pegged the guy in this photo as older than that. Then again, maybe some hard living leathered him up a bit. It doesn't look too much like Martin to me. Is the ring definitely a World Series ring? Could it just be the guy who caught the ball? Or maybe a Cardinals executive presenting it to Musial? Were any 1959 Cardinals execs former players who were on championship teams?

We don't know that it is a WS ring - but it is very similar to (but not exactly the same as) some examples of 1940's-50's WS rings we found.
It could be an exec, coach or former player (or a fan if it's not a WS ring). |

I would assume that it's the fan that happened to catch the 400 ball...
