RIP Stan the Man

Being from Pittsburgh and of the age of 43 I'm reminded of a time when baseball was romantic in every little boy's heart, I grew up with Wllie Stargell, a man who exemplified the purity and sincerity of the game I love. I spent 4 years being bounced around the minors in Florida in the hopes of one day hitting brand new baseballs for batting practice, but it was not to be. Mr. Musial is the epitome of what made this game I hold so dearly magical, my heart goes out to his family and his fans. In today's game that consists of the "what about me" mentality, present day diamond worriers could learn what integrity means from this man. The gentleman had truly all five tools and will be sorely missed.
