RIP Stan the Man

After the tawdriness of Tuesday's post, this piece by Joe Posnanski about Stan Musial provides nice balance. 
"We all disappointed someone from time to time," the Hall of Famer Robin Roberts said when we talked about kids and autographs. "Well, all of us but one."

"Who was that?" I asked.

"Musial," he said in a voice that indicated I should have already known.
Mr. Musial exuded class. We might never see a professional athlete like him again.
