A few years ago I had the good fortune and chance to purchase a Stan Musial Bowling ball. Mr Musial was kind enough to schedule me a private signing to autograph the piece. It happened to be the same day as the All-Star game, and he was thrilled to talk about it and was anxious to watch the game that evening.
I will always cherish the photo taken with him that day.
Mr Musial was everything you see, hear and read. A great Hall of Fame baseball player who's personality made me feel I had known him all my life.--Thanks again Mr Musial.
