An American baseball player and general manager who set more records than any previous player in major league history in his 22 seasons, was born on November 21, 1920, Donora, Pennsylvania, United States. He began his baseball career in 1938 as a minor league pitcher, but arm injuries forced him to switch to playing in the outfield and at first base. Musial made it to the big leagues in 1942 and quickly became a feared left-handed hitter, known for his consistency and distinctive batting stance. Stan “The Man” Musial played his entire major league career with the St. Louis Cardinals. At his retirement in 1963 he held major league records for extra-base hits (1,377) and total bases (6,134). He also held National League records for hits (3,630), runs scored (1,949), runs batted in (1,951), total number of games played (3,026), consecutive games played (895), and times at bat (10,972). Musial won the most valuable player (MVP) award three times (1943, 1946, 1948) and was league batting champion seven times (1943, 1946, 1948, 1950-52, 1957). For 16 consecutive years he achieved a batting average of over .300, retiring with a lifetime average of .331. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
He died on January 19, 2013, Ladue, Missouri, United States.
