Stan the Man
A sad week for fans of baseball history, losing both Earl Weaver and Stan Musial. They showed two different sides of baseball. Here is a terrific remembrance of Stan the Man.
Regards, D-Ray

"Early in the season of 1951, not long after 20-year-old Willie Mays first was called up to the New York Giants, manager Leo Durocher met with the young slugger to go over the opposing hitters for that day. The Giants were playing the St. Louis Cardinals, and Durocher briefed Mays on the Cards' lineup, telling Mays how to play the first hitter, then the second hitter and then the fourth hitter.
"What about number three?" Mays asked. "The third hitter is Stan Musial," Durocher told him. "There is no advice I can give you about him." This stuck out to me.
