Very sad news. He was a baseball legend. Arguably in the top 10 players ever.
This guy could hit.

Just heard about this. Even though he was before my time, I still know about his achievements in MLB.
R.I.P. Stan. :\'(
Another MLB figure passed away earlier today: Earl Weaver, 82, who'd managed the Baltimore Orioles for a long time.

I remember Earl Weaver was managing the Orioles when Roberto Clemente got his 3000th (and last) hit in the '71 World Series and the Buccos took the pennant. All three of these baseball greats passed before their time. :-\\

Clemente was one of my childhood heroes. Although Clemente's Pirates played Baltimore in the '71 series, he didn't get his 3000th hit until September 1972 at home against the Mets.
Earl Weaver was a character, thrown out of many games, he managed some great Oriole teams.
I never saw Musial play, although I was born before his career ended.
