Reading Baseball: Remembering Musial

St Louis Cardinals legend Stan Musial passed away recently at the age of 92. In his latest edition of Reading Baseball, Pete Peterson tells us of an essay written about Musial almost 60-years ago that defined the character of the Hall of Famer in the midst of his long, illustrious career.

Reading Baseball is a series of original essays and commentaries by Richard "pete" Peterson, editor fo the St. Louis Baseball Reader and the author of Growing Up with Clemente and  Pops: The Willie Stargell Story, scheduled for publication in May.

Richard "Pete" Peterson is the creative force behind WSIU Radio's Reading Baseball Series. Pete's original essays and commentaries are a regular staple for any fan of the game.
