Lot 82
Musial, Stan (b. 1920) Stan the Man. Baseball player who, in his 22-year playing career with the St. Louis Cardinals, won seven National League batting championships and established himself as one of the game's greatest hitters. Elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.
Signature ("Stan Musial"). Signed Time Magazine, complete issue. Signed in black ink at bottom of portrait. There is some adhesive residue at the bottom left corner and a crease at the bottom right corner. There is a small chip on the top edge of the portrait, but otherwise this piece is in very good condition.
In September 1949, the Cardinals were in the pennant hunt. Of course, they ended watching the World Series instead of playing in it, but this article, with its gripping description of Musial coming up to the plate at Ebbets Field and full photo spread of Musial's swing, is a great way to remember The Man.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
