I learned something

I learned in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch today that Stan Musial was never ejected from a game in his career. That might say more about Stan as a man than as Stan the Man.

Stan Musial is the greatest living baseball player in America. In Cardinals history, Stan is #1 and Albert Pujols is catching up. At some point they will be one and two and I'm not really bothered which is which.

Here are some of my favorite Cardinals, very subjective and certainly not encompassing: Stan, Albert Pujols, Bob Gibson, Dizzy Dean, Lou Brock, Ozzie Smith.

For all the home runs and doubles and other things, to realize that he never got thrown out of a game is amazing.
