One of the nicest people in professional sports
One of the nicest, most decent guys in professional sports. I had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times and he was a perfect gentleman and humble.

You forgot Mays, Aaron, The Duke and Banks. To put Pepitone in this group is far fetched. Pepi didn't play until the 60's (replacing Moose) and although Joe had great potential he never reached it. Coulda, shoulda, woulda but wasn't. They don't make em like they used to.

Stan the Man was a great ballplayer and gentleman. He represented baseball well and was the last generation of ballplayers who played in the non-steroid era.
RIP - Stanley

He was another victim of Alzheimer's, "the long goodbye."
There have been many. Dana Andrews Charles Bronson Abe Burrows Glen Campbell Winston Churchill Perry Como Aaron Copland Willem De Kooning Auguste Deter Arlene Francis Barry Goldwater Rita Hayworth Charlton Heston Jack Lord Burgess Meredith Stan "The Man" Musial Edmond O’Brien Pauline Phillips (Abigail “Dear Abby” Van Buren) Otto Preminger Ronald Reagan Sugar Ray Robinson Norman Rockwell Margaret Thatcher Harold Wilson I am sure that you could add some more names. There are no survivors. There is no cure, yet. Join The Villages Alzheimer's Walk on 1/26/2013. About 11,500 of your neighbors need a cure. |

Musial retired in the early 60's and the baseball steroid era didn't start until around 1988 with Canseco but really got going around 1992. So there were a lot of players that weren't juiced in the approximately 30 year interval.
