Check out the stats for Stan. He had the sweetest swing. Good man, great player and team mate. Should be as well known as Babe or Mickey or Willie. Never got his due.
It's a pity one of the top five ball players of all time doesn't have enough film footage to allow a decent presentation in appreciation of The Man, Stan Musial..... thanks for posting this. It must have been a labor of love. Thank you.
He didn't try to elevate the ball the first 5 years averaged 14.2 hr's, the team asked him to try to hit more homers, he averages 31 the next 10 years. If he would have elevated the ball the first 5 years and averaged 31, that would have added 84 to his total 474+84= 558 add 31 for the year missed to the War 558+31=589.Then consider the 201 balls he hit off the 31 1/2 high screen in Sportsman Park THAT ABOSUTLEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HOME RUNS IN BOSTON OR YANKEE STADIUM (both had walls less than 5 ft high in RF) 201 (72 singles 107 doubles 22 triples) if all had been hr's then he would have had 790 homers if only 1/2 690 homers. He didn't play in Boston or New York, he wasn't a publicity hound like Williams, he was a humble man who loved the game, and he never got 10% of the notoriety he deserved. IT WAS SO BAD, THAT THE MILLIONS OF THOSE WHO WERE BORN AFTER HE RETIRED, HAD BEEN DEPRIVED OF ANY KNOWLEDE OF ONE OF THE TOP 6 LEFTHANDED BATTERS OF ALL TIME,(Cobb,Speaker,Ruth,Gehrig,Williams,Musial) AND THEY WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE HIM OFF THE ALL CENTURY TEAM IN 1999, UNTIL ALL THOSE IN THE BASEBALL COMMUNITY OVER 60 YEARS OLD PUT HIM IN. That had to hurt him. If not for War years, and the screen in St. Louis Musial as well as Williams, would have joined Ruth in the 700 home run club.
Stan's stats are fantasy stats! Ridiculous numbers and remember he served 1, PRIME YEAR in the military, hence the MAN! If that had been a full season, he may have eclipsed 500 homers and nearly 4000 hits! His stats, number for number are comparable and in my opinion better than Willie Mays! Better BA, more hits, more extra base hits, higher SLG % etc. Awesome!
I think about this all the time I think he would've got to 4000. But I also think Ted Williams would've eclipsed him without military service. As painful as that is.

Stan The Man literally lived up to his name and reputation. Eight times he led the Majors in doubles (1943,1944,1946,1948,1949, 1952,1953,1954) five times (1943, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1951) in triples of which he had hit 20 three-baggers (1943, 1946), 2x NL leader in RBIs (1948, 1956), 7x NL Batting Champion (1943, 1946, 1948, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1957), four times he cracked the .1000 mark in OPS (on base plus slugging percentage), and he struck out less than 700 times in his entire career. 1948, he led the National League or Majors in runs scored, hits, doubles, triples, runs batted in, batting average, on base percentage, slugging percentage and on base plus slugging percentage.

1815 hits on the road 1815 at home for a grand total of 3630 that's consistency one of the greatest the MAN
Given the limited footage that exists on Stan Musial, this is a phenomenal compilation. Hats off to the creator.
It is incredibly hard to make some of these videos so I thank you very much
@@dominickclaflin5295 you’re quite welcome. I’d imagine it is difficult, so thanks again. I’m a big fan.
@@stoneshire645 I'm related to him somehow, he looks like my grandfather and his name was Frank. thanks
@@glorioskey that’s incredible! You have some talented blood running through your veins

Stan is forever the Man

Musial told Jack Buck once on KMOX, “I loved our hitting coach…he taught me how to play euchre. That was all he taught me.” 🤣
He had somewhat of a slow swing approach, but damn when he connected boyyyyy !!!!
He also had a level swing but the ball jumped off his bat.
Stan Musial should be so much more worldly popular.
Stan the Man. My dad used to say about him.
Stan the MAN

All true.
Stan Musical,who was one of tge game greatest hitters,Let greatest trace in the Baseball.Fame is mo🔥🔥🔥🔥st in the price,...🔥🌏😍
When Stan got to the big leagues, it took him five years to accumulate 100 strikeouts!
He struck out once every 18.3 plate appearances, which is pretty phenomenal.

Check the post i just put up; forget 500 hr's; no question over 600 homers, and if we could adjust for the first 5 years , maybe700 plus homers
Baseballs perfect knight, St.Louis only king.
His swing reminds me of cano
The other way round really but I get ya
Ted Williams or Stan Musial
Toss-up; draw
@@loydkline that was the point
