He wasn&#8217;t a\u00a0former President, or a war hero (but was a veteran) .\u00a0 He was just a baseball player, which as he has been quoted as saying, was &#8220;all I ever really wanted to be.&#8221;\u00a0 But he was more than that, you know.\u00a0 As you may have watched or read about Stan Musial these past days, your were sure to note his kindness, decency and generosity, giving signed baseball memorabilia away like sticks of gum, comforting a pitcher who had been badgered by racial slurs, staying true to his wife for 72 years.<\/p>\n<p>My son Tim and I shared a special moment together as\u00a0we went down to the public wake at the Basilica of St. Louis on the Thursday after he died.\u00a0 There was not a big crowd in the fading frigid afternoon. The lights were low.\u00a0 The church was very quiet, and peaceful. We just walked up the main aisle and over to the casket. Ushers nodded, Navy honor guard stoically stood at rest, flanking the body.\u00a0 I knelt down before the casket.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t plan to do this&#8230; it just felt right.<\/p>\n<p>I prayed for Stan and his family, thanked God for the man he was, and for the grace to be more like him. I asked Stan to call out &#8220;Whaddyasay&#8221; to my dad Emil and father-in-law Jack, and to shake their hands, and tell them that we miss them.\u00a0 And I prayed for sons everywhere who loved the game, and can look to him as a model of joy, dignity and decency.<\/p>\n<p>And then there was the funeral that Saturday, held on\u00a0the exact same day and at the exact same place that another &#8220;Splendid Pole&#8221;\u00a0 attended Mass 14 years ago, Pope John Paul II, Karol Wojtyla.\u00a0 When I heard this, I recalled some of the other serendipitous moments of Stan&#8217;s life.<\/p>\n<p>He started out as a hot pitching prospect in the late &#8217;30s, right out of high school, only to hurt his shoulder diving for a line drive in a minor league game.\u00a0 But he could always hit One might say it was that injury that actually led to his future success.\u00a0 His early years were remarkable, with several pennants and World Series appearances.\u00a0 But he never played in another Fall Classic after 1946. He retired in 1963, missing by a year\u00a0 the remarkable 1964 Cardinal drive to the pennant and series triumph over the Yankees.\u00a0 Then, he came back in 1967 as general manager and won the World Series, beating the Red Sox.\u00a0 Talk about putting an exclamation point on a Hall of Fame career!<\/p>\n<p>Stan&#8217;s wife Lillian died this past May, amazingly at 6 pm., &#8220;6&#8221; the number he got only because it was the jersey that fit him best in 1941.\u00a0 And he himself passed away at 5:45, but as his grandson, best friend and caretaker for many of his later years said, &#8220;Stan always told me, &#8216;If you&#8217;re not 15 minutes early, you&#8217;re late.'&#8221;\u00a0 I heard it said that the seven-time National League batting champ (yeah, I said 7!) needed that extra few minutes to sign a bat for St. Peter.\u00a0 For as the former St. Louisan and now Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan said, &#8220;now he&#8217;s in the only Hall of Fame that really counts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Can we make men larger in death than they were in life?\u00a0 Sure, that happens.\u00a0 Bobby Kennedy cautioned against that in his eulogy for his brother Jack.\u00a0 But in Stan Musial&#8217;s case, that would be hard to do, for his life was such a testament to what all men should strive for.<\/p>\n<p>One more note, going back to that serendipity.\u00a0 Son Tim\u00a0went to the memorial downtown Saturday to see the family lay a wreath at the Musial statue.\u00a0 He arrived early, listened to the eulogies coming from the cathedral on the radio.\u00a0 As he emerged from his car, he glanced at the empty parking spaces nearby.\u00a0 Number 274, Number 275, clearly marked.\u00a0 But where Number 276\u00a0 should have been, the &#8220;2&#8221; and the &#8220;7&#8221; were worn down, faded, all but invisible.\u00a0 And all that remained was the number &#8220;6&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Name a bridge for &#8220;The Man&#8221;?\u00a0 I&#8217;m not sure.\u00a0 Better it\u00a0should be named in honor of the young man who lost his life during the construction.\u00a0 How about changing the name of the stadium to &#8220;Musial Field&#8221;?\u00a0 Probably not going to happen, but I&#8217;d love to see it.<\/p>\n<p>I only know that most of the saints in the Christian tradition were just ordinary people who lived extraordinary lives.<\/p>\n<p>Is there maybe room for another &#8220;St. Stan&#8221; in that Big Clubhouse in the Sky?<\/p>\n<p>As the boy said in\u00a0 the movie &#8220;Angels in the Outfield&#8221;.\u2026.&#8221;It could happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Boomer&#8217;s Journal By Tom Anselm A few weeks ago, we all lost a good man.
