Stan ‘ The Man’ Musial, a baseball legend and a hero, received
the Medal of Freedom yesterday with 14 other people. Like so
many baseball players of his era, Stan ‘The Man’ managed to put up some
incredible numbers on a baseball field in addition to taking a break to serve in
the Navy for his country, during World War II.
It was fitting that ‘The Man’, although born in Pennsylvania,
most believe is a St Louis native by right for giving his career to the benefit
of the Cardinals, received this medal on the City’s birthday, it was February
15th, 1764 when the City was established.
I am sure there are many Cardinals fans who hope Pujols takes
some note of this event and realizes it doesn’t have to always be about the
money, sometimes you have to give back to a community that has adopted you into
their hearts.
