Stan Musial

Stan Musial, nicknamed Stan the Man, was an American outfielder and first baseman who spent all 22 of his Major League Baseball seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, from 1941 to 1963 apart from a year of Navy service. Born in Donora, Pennsylvania, he began as a pitcher before being converted to the outfield. He won three National League Most Valuable Player Awards and three World Series titles, batted .331 for his career and set National League records for hits. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969, his first year of eligibility, and is widely considered one of the most consistent hitters in the sport.
