Stanley Frank “Stan the Man” Musial was one of the most beloved and consistently excellent players in baseball history, spending his entire illustrious 22-season Major League Baseball career (1941-1944, 1946-1963) with the St. Louis Cardinals. Known for his unique corkscrew batting stance, incredible hitting prowess, and universally admired sportsmanship, Musial is often cited as one of the greatest pure hitters the game has ever seen. Musial was a cornerstone of the Cardinals teams that won three World Series championships (1942, 1944, 1946).
Stan Musial retired in 1963 and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969 in his first year of eligibility. His uniform number 6 was retired by the St. Louis Cardinals, and a statue of him stands proudly outside Busch Stadium. He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011 by President Barack Obama, the highest civilian honor in the United States.
