RIP Stan Musial 1920-2013

Ironic how the man ejected from the most games and the man never ejected from a game pass away on the same day.

(is weaver the most ever? he has to be 1st or 2nd?)

RIP Stan... I believe you were my 2nd or 3rd TTM success ever.

R.I.P. Stan the man. Will be missed

[EtherealSOC]

I never met him but have spoken to many people who have, and all agreed that he had an excess of humility that belied his talents. I'm celebrating the life of a tremendous baseball player and personality today.

I remember Bobby Cox passing Weaver. But that is interesting I didn't realize Musial was never ejected.

Top 5 best hitters ever? Top 10 easy imo.

I don't see how anybody could leave him out of a Top 10. Top 5 would be a lot tougher since there are so many great choices.

Definitely agree. :)

I think we are all lucky he was able to get a lot of signed material out there. Some of the older greats, we'll never have the pleasure of owning a piece of their history. :(

My top 5 hitters all-time:

1. Ted Williams
2. Ty Cobb
3. Babe Ruth
4. Stan Musial
5. Tony Gwynn

Hard to leave Rod Carew out, but who do you swap for him?

Musial was a class act. He lived his life, and played the game he loved to right way.

God's speed, Mr. Musial. Heaven's team just got a hell of a lot better.

I'd definitely put in Carew for Gwynn. Everyone else is spot on.

I know I'll get hammered, but I've always had Aaron in my top 5. Even more so than Ruth.

Aaron has the best stats... but is the the best natural hitter? I mean Ted Williams had it figured it out scientifically... Musial and Carew were contact guys, automatic .300 hitters, Ruth gets in with power numbers alone... I don't know about Aaron... can't blame you.
