Baseball?s perfect knight is no longer with us.
According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cardinals great Stan Musial died in St. Louis at 5:45 p.m. local time on Saturday evening. Goold says Musial was ?surrounded by family? when he passed.
?Stan the Man? ? a picture of poise, grace and consistency ? tallied 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 on the road over the course of his 22-year major league career. The lifetime Cardinal won three World Series titles, three National League MVPs and was a first-ballot inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
He has a statue outside Busch Stadium and his No. 6 was retired by the Cardinals in 1963 ? the same year that he stopped playing. He was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom ? the highest honor that the United States?government?can bestow on a civilian ? at the White House in?February?2011.
Musial was 92.
