How awesome to see Musial on the SI cover last week! You know I've always had that soft spot for Musial, liking him more than Williams, more than Mantle even. A great story to read. Open for debate: was Musial's 1948 the greatest single season in the post war era? He missed the triple crown by 1 homer. He finished leading the league in batting average, hits, doubles, triples, rbi's, total bases, and slugging %, but alas 2nd in homers. My previous posting of "best 9" years for the immortals makes the case that Stan the Man deserves a little higher place than he is now accorded.

Somehow, I forgot to comment on your post.
Stan the Man. I cannot believe how much he is overlooked. I cringed everytime Mays, Dimaggio, Mantle and Williams were mentioned as the greatest player living, and the person left of "The Man"
