Stan Musial has died.

Unlike Derek Jeter (and his little dog, A-Rod), Stan The Man would never stand and cry and insist the ball hit him (even if it did). He played the came honestly and with conviction. That "Man" was dangerous, not only as a hitter, but also as a runner and, for sure, you didn't want to see the ball drifting into his area if he was wearing a glove.

Because, he played the game right. Honestly.

Anti-Oakland Raider, too, for that matter...

Branch Rickey was once asked if he would trade Musial for either DiMaggio, Williams or a young Mays or Mantle?
