Stan Musial was my hero has a kid. Asked about hitting, he said, " I look for a baseball, then I knock the shit out of it." That was my problem, I'd knock the shit out of a bad pitch and then get to thinking I could do it all the time. Sadly, I could not.
Another Stan Musial quote after a reporter said, "You always seem happy. You smile all the time." Musial said, "You'd smile to if you knew you were going to hit .350."
One more from Mike Shannon. Mike said if you looked at guys bats, you'd see dings all up and down the bat. When you looked at Stan's bats, they were all within 6" of each other around the sweet spot on the bat.
