STAN MUSIAL REMAINS GOLD STANDARD

The MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday which will be held in St. Louis is in celebration of the career of Tan Musial, who is one of the greatest players in baseball history. Musial, who is now 88, along with the other Hall of Famers will be honored in a parade few hours before the game whose memorabilia figures a lot of success at the All-Star Fan Fest exhibiting the detailed baseball cities on record.

As we have learned, Musial spent his entire career in the Midwest. Far from the famed East Cost ballparks that made up baseball's epicenter in the 1940's and 1050's, Musial simply wailed away on his harmonica and over matched pitchers to build a legacy in St. Louis.

He became a pitcher in the minors before an injury and joined the Cardinals in 1941 who never left the team. He played the outfield and first base for years and in his outstanding years he made a great a success and made him known as one of the best player ever.

Musial amassed 55 major league records when he retired in 1963, and was still the only player to hit 400 homers and strike out fewer than 700 times. In fact, he never fanned even 50 times in a season.

In his 16 straight years of record, he hit .300 and finished at .331 overall. His 3,630 career hits stood as the NL mark until Pete Rose broke it, and he hit 475 homers with 1,951 RBI's while scoring 1,949 runs.

Musial hit a 12th-inning home run that won the 1955 All-Star game. He reached the World Series four times in his first five full seasons and won three championships.

You could also find here the oldest bat in which Musial has been using.
