I was wondering when you were going to post something about "baseball's perfect knight" given his iconic (in every sense of the word) status for St. Louis residents and Cardinals fans :-)
If all that I have heard and read about Musial is true, his life exemplified many virtues -- humility, fidelity, magnaminity, just to name a few -- and he may have come as close as anyone in Major League Baseball to genuine sainthood.
May he rest in peace and may perpetual light shine upon him.
Thanks Elaine, I was overwhelmed by the amount written about Musial’s good character, so much so that I was unable to put together a coherent text in praise of the man in the short amount of time I had available. But I was downtown the other night and managed to get a photo.
Stan Musial for sainthood. Well, now there is a Facebook page that has been created for just that purpose. http://www.facebook.com/StanForSainthood Please stop by to share your memories of Stan. We want to keep the memories alive of what a wonderful man he was.
