Stan the Man Musial
WHEN YOU VISIT ST. LOUIS, HOME OF THE ARCH.
TAKE TIMEOUT, TO VISIT THE PARK.
THIS IS THE HOME, TO THE GREATEST OF ALL.
STAN "THE MAN" MUSIAL OF CARDINAL BASEBALL.
FOR 22 SEASONS, HE PLAYED A GREAT GAME.
WELL DESERVING, OF THE HALL OF FAME.
BACK IN THE FORTIES, HE MADE HIS DEBUT.
IN HIS FIRST PLATE APPEARANCE, NOBODY KNEW.
WITH A BATTING STANCE, YOU COULD DISPUTE.
LIGHTNING FAST REFLEX, YOU CAN'T REFUTE.
EXCELLENT VISION, TO SEE THE BALL.
WHEN IT CAME TO HITTING, HE COULD DO IT ALL.
WITH HIS FINE BASEBALL SKILLS, THE NUMBERS WOULD COME.
CAREER BATTING AVERAGE OF THREE THIRTY ONE.
THE SEASONS BEST AVERAGE 7 TIMES WON.
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, HE MUST HAVE HAD FUN.
HE HAD A GREAT SEASON, IN FORTY-THREE.
AS A RESULT, HE WON MVP.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT THIS MVP.
HE WOULD HAVE 2 MORE GREAT SEASONS, FOR A TOTAL OF3.
THIRTY SIX HUNDRED THIRTY HITS TO REMEMBER.
20 TIME ALL-STAR AND HALL OF FAME MEMBER.
LET'S NOT FORGET, ABOUT THE LONG BALL.
FOUR-SEVENTY-FIVE, WOULD CLEAR THE WALL.
THE GAME OF BASEBALL, IS A GREAT LOVE FOR ME.
THE GREAT STAN "THE MAN" MUSIAL, PART OF IT'S HISTORY....
