One of the greatest baseball players in the history of the game:

Always sad when a sportsman goes.

Wow, and I just read that Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver passed today too. Sad day for baseball:

Two of the greats. No doubt about it. Though he is sometimes overlooked, Musial has to be in that top class of hitters with Ted Williams, Honus Wagner, etc. Very nice man too.

 

[Groucho]

Two sports greats gone in one day.

Bad news man

Just looked at his stats again. Amazing. Lifetime .331 batting average with power.
