St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame slugger Stan (the Man) Musial dead at 92

A signature Musial image endures: He waits for a pitch in a left-handed crouch, his knees bent and close together, his body leaning to the left as he peers over his right shoulder, the red No. 6 on his back. The stance was likened to a corkscrew or, as the White Sox pitcher and Dodger coach Ted Lyons once described it, “a kid peeking around the corner to see if the cops are coming.”

So sad that all the greats of that era are gone. I remember seeing his plaque in Cooperstown several years ago.

Wish it was baseball season right now..........
