"No man has ever been a perfect ballplayer. Stan Musial, however, is the closest thing to being perfect in the game today. I’ve seen greater hitters and greater runners and greater fielders, but he puts them all together like no one else…He’s certainly one of the greatest players of all time. In my book he’s a better player than Joe DiMaggio was in his prime. Stan Musial will score from first on a single…He’ll go after a ball, even in an exhibition game, diving for a shoestring catch, as if the World Series depended on it. He’s my kind of ball player."

Wow- my favorite! I have a corner dedicated to him with a big signed photo, a signed jersey, a signed bat, a signed cap, and a signed batting helmet. As well as an old tin cigarette sign featuring him. Understand he was quite the harmonica player as well.

Stan's getting up there in age. All the best to him and hope he enjoys his birthday. SI had a great piece on him earlier this year. Supposedly one of the nicest people you could ever meet.
