In 1964 my dad came home with a phonograph record that was produced by Phillips 66. On the cover was Stan Musial, "The Man". It was a record with picture inserts that one could follow along with during the record as Stan discussed hitting. I listened to it a lot. In 1963 Stan was in his last year in the Major Leagues. He played his entire career with the St. Louis Cardinals.
This article gives a great outline of his life. He is the consummate gentleman and was a fierce competitor on the baseball diamond. I doubt we will ever see anyone like Stan "The Man" Musial in Major League Baseball ever again.
UPDATE: And then there is this.
