Stan Musial of the St. Saint Louis Cardinals
from 1941-1963
According
to the baseball Hall of Fame:
"Stan Musial hit the ball the wrong way.
Corkscrew stance. Off-balance follow-through. Inside-out swing.
But Stan Musial played baseball the right way. Few who saw the Cardinals’ legend in person thought a better ballplayer existed. Almost half a century after his retirement, Musial remains the face of a Cardinals’ franchise he helped turn into a dynasty.
Born Nov. 21, 1920 in Donora, Pa., Stanley Frank Musial began his pro baseball career as a left-handed pitcher in 1938 after signing with the Cardinals. But while playing the outfield due to a shortage of players, Musial permanently damaged his left shoulder while diving for a ball.
Musial’s manager, Dickie Kerr, suggested that Musial turn to hitting – based on the fact that Musial hit .352 in his part-time outfield duty in 1940. The next year, Musial sailed through the vast Cardinals’ minor league system before hitting .426 in a late-season call-up with St. Louis.
In 1942, Musial hit .315 as the Cardinals’ everyday left-fielder – one of only two times he’d dip under the .320 mark in his first 12 full big league seasons. The Cardinals won the World Series that year, and the next season Musial won his first of three NL Most Valuable Player awards for leading the Cards back to the World Series, where they lost to the Yankees.
Musial and the Cardinals won the World Series again in 1944, and after taking 1945 off to serve in the Navy, Musial won his second MVP in 1946 while leading St. Louis to its third World Series title in five seasons.
He had his greatest offensive season in 1948, hitting a career-high .376 while missing the Triple Crown by just one home run. He won his third and final MVP that year."
