"(CNN) -- He was simply "The Man." Stanley Frank Musial made a name for himself as one of baseball's best hitters of all time on the field, as well as one of its greatest, most dignified ambassadors off it. And now "Stan the Man" is gone. Musial died at his Ladue, Missouri, home surrounded by family, the Cardinals said in a statement. According to a post on his Twitter page, which is maintained by his grandson Brian Musial Schwarze, Musial died at 5:45 p.m. (6:45 p.m. ET) Saturday of natural causes. He was 92. "We have lost the most beloved member of the Cardinals family," said William DeWitt Jr., the club's chairman. "Stan Musial was the greatest player in Cardinals history and one of the best players in the history of baseball............"He retired in 1963 as, statistically, one of the best hitters in baseball history..." http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/19/sport/...html?hpt=hp_t3 http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/g...uck/MUSIAL.jpg http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/...l/Scan0065.jpg :( |

My dad talked about him quite a bit when I was growing up playing little league.

Ah nice, too bad he would have said this thread is shitty.

Well, musicals have a limited shelf life, even if they are on Broadway...
So I'm not all that surprised that a musical about a basketball player wouldn't last that long... :2 cents: |
