Stan Musial’s image seemed to be everywhere you looked inside and outside Busch Stadium, and none of those treasured echoes of the greatest Cardinal of all offered a more imposing or revealing glimpse of the man behind The Man than this large-sized, 38 x 49” framed photo. Unlike nearly all the other Musial photos, this one shows a mature Man, circa the early ‘60s, his face etched with lines of age, wisdom and perhaps a bit of fleeting weariness as he kneels in the Polo Grounds. His arms are folded, a bat propped under his left arm, as he looks pensively out over the field on which he would once again be spending a long afternoon. The gold-framed photo is matted against a beige background with a plaque on the bottom center reading “Stan Musial”. EX-MT condition.
