‘Stan the Man’
“The Donora Greyhound ‘is a lesser-known nickname, owing largely to his hometown in Pennsylvania.
Musial is one of the greatest baseball players to ever play.
Bill James ranks Ted Williams and then Musial as the greatest leftfielders in history. The 2003 edition had Barry Bonds #3, so maybe James would have slipped Musial to third.
Still, by any metric Musial is on the short list of the greatest baseball legends. He did well in Win Shar and won three MVP awards and finished second four times.
Bill James: “What he was was a ball player. He didn’t spit at fans, he didn’t get into fights in nightclubs, he didn’t marry anybody famous. He hustled. “ (Im assuming James is referring to Williams, Mantle, and DiMaggio)” “The perfect gentleman the perfect sport”
