It's his birthday — that's what the headline should say.
On what would be Stan Musial’s 105th birthday, I was looking through some of my Donora-born ballplayer cards and wondered: What’s the best Musial card?
“The Man” Musial and Ken Griffey Jr., two of the greatest left-handed hitter ever, were born in the same town and on the same date — Nov. 21. That’s not the only connection about their shared birthday. So … HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY TO A FUTURE HALL OF FAMER from Donora, Pennsylvania. If you’re interested I wrote about it a few years ago, or just check out the baseball cards: https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/article_ced95645-8848-580e-92a6-c19e7570ff1c.html

Some great options for Stan, but I’d say mine is a tie between his 1949 Leaf and his 1954 red heart!

Not a card but I love the fact that he and Ken Griffey Jr were born on the same day in the same small town!
