Stan Musial was one of the recipients this week of the presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian award.
I was an avid Cardinals fan growing up in St. Louis and saw Stan the Man play once at the old Busch stadium in a game against the Milwaukee Braves, with Warren Spahn pitching.
Even when we moved back to Pittsburg, I listened to the Cardinals every night on the radio. That was the team with Bill White, Ken Boyer, Curt Flood, Julian Javier and other legends. Harry Carey and Jack Buck called the games. It just doesn't get any better than that.
