Stan Musial Eulogy - Bob Costas (Full)

The Mantle/Musial part of this speech is probably the most beautiful oratory about baseball that's been told. Every fan of baseball should watch this speech and learn something from Stan.

[@richardmiller3919]

Stan and Mickey had same commons. Their dads worked in coal mines (Musial in PA and Mantle in Okla) I believe Mickey listened ball game on radio, and fond of Stan. Later Mickey got signed with Yankees and Mickey got #6 uniform ( Musial wore#6 too) and bit later he had problem not hitting and sent him to Kansas City Blues. His parents drove up to see Mickey playing.. he told them he thought to quit baseball (I read in google)Dad said if Mickey quit, then Dad would pull him to work in coal mine as hit Mickey’s thought (I imagine he said oh no) then he started to pick to hit and was recalled back to Yankees and unfortunately, he got #7 uniform and that was how his history was made.

[@joemckim1183]

@@richardmiller3919 Mantle got #6 with the Yankees at first because he was expected to automatically be the next in the line of Yankee greats with Ruth being #3, Gehrig #4 and DiMaggio #5 and now Mickey was expected to be the next one before he even did anything in the majors. You would imagine that would put a lot of pressure on a rookie.

PERFECTLY STATED I ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE

[@jamesdavison2927]

CRYING again as bob is tearing up SO DAMN TOUCHING SO DAMN "sobering" (no pun intended, really)

[@chlduiowks]

Bob, truly your humble style describes best this amazing man.

[@brinocarlo]

"Take a look fans, take a good long look. Remember the swing and the stance. We won't see his like again." Rest in Peace Stan the Man.

I attended a special Olympic event with my daughter at the Yale Bowl in 1995. The crowd was noisy and not settling down to hear the start of the ceremony. Arnold tried but no go, Then Costos took over and within moments and the audience was attentive. One of the best of all broadcasters. This is a deeply moving eulogy, Since I was a fan of Stan beginning at age 11 and to the end of his career. It brings tears. Wonderful to know that a childhood hero was as wonderful as that young boy imagined him to be from all that was said about him in the press.

[@KEVINKEVINKEVINWWW]

​@@johnschuh8616 Thank you for your comment. It's own thoughtfulness invited me to watch this video once again. I had forgotten how good it was. Much appreciated.

[@tomada36]

This has to be, by far, the most emotional that Costas has been in public.

[@cgpapineau]

Awesome eulogy! Bob Costas really is an excellent speaker. Stan Musial.is to the Cardinals and St. Louis what Al Kaline was to the Tigers and Detroit.

[@BigBudde]

AMEN

Still might be the greatest eulogy I’ve ever heard.

and Im an Aussie that has spent a total of 3 days of my life in St Louis. But ive loved the Cards since 1982 and of course all the history of which 50% is Stan.

Phenomenal. I could listen to Costas speak and tell stories all day and all night long.

Amen to that

Well done Mr. Costas. Very well done.

Epic speech - loved all the stories, especially the "deal me in" one.

Bob was about to cry a few times because the WONDERFULLY DECENT , GREAT STAN THE MAN's LIFE STORY WAS SO MOVING

[@BigBudde]

Thank you

This is why Cardinal Nation and the city of St. Louis is the best. What other city has all of its sports connected to each other in some way and the most passionate fans? Just why I love being a St. Louisan!

[@isaacb57gmc]

Stan The Man retired 34 years before i was born, but as a kid growing up and playing baseball in Missouri he was my childhood hero right up there with Albert Pujols and Adam Wainwright. I sent him a letter when i was 10 or 11 to tell him how great i thought he was and he sent me a signed picture. He must have been 90 years old at that point… what a great guy. He makes me proud to be a Cardinals fan.

My goodness, I haven't cried that much since my dad died. That was a marvelous tribute by a remarkable sports broadcaster for one of my childhood idols. Just heart wrenching.

[@jamesdavison2927]

Stan is, has always been, and will always be MY MAN. I was born in 71, i never saw him play, but my father instilled in me a proper respect for the game and history of baseball In 4th grade i had to do a report on a famous Missourian, i chose Stan Musial and it forever changed me, a one sided love affair started Hes the most underrated , criminally so, ball player of all time, maybe even most underrated sports player of all time But if i could sum up Stans life i couldnt come close to doing as well as Costas I dont just "tear up" , TEARS STREEEEEAM down my face during this amazing eulogy, one of the most beautiful speeches ive ever hearr Thanks bob Thanks whoever posted this And above all thanks to Stan for being the incredible "thoroughly decent " person you were Stan the Man forever

I know that Bob Costas said that ultimately if he were alive, the eulogy would be Jack Buck' to present, but there is no way it could possibly be better than Bob's. As good, maybe, but in a different kind of way. Bob is SUCH a wordsmith! As I told some friends, I want him to do the eulogy for my funeral because he would make my semi-average life WAY more interesting.

[@iamcool551]

One of the greatest and heartfelt eulogies I've ever heard.

[@8044868]

We moved to St. Louis in 1961. I was a baseball fanatic. My memories are of the unique Stan stance at the plate and a home run to right. That summer I got to play in a Khoury League all star game on a kid sized diamond in right field. What a thrill to step on the same turf trod by over twenty years by my idol.

[@billholzman1912]

I enjoyed watching Stan Play when he came to Cincinnati, but I didn't enjoy watching him sometime single handedly beat the Reds. I remember him hitting the ball out of the park,and as he rounded the bases, my dad said to me, you are watching one of the greatest of all time. Yea Dad, you were so right, and all so one of the greatest human beings.

I wasn't old enough to have seen him play - only 1 when he retired. But later, as a young fan of the game, I had a huge book of statistics covering back into the 19th century that I frequently poured over. Numerous times I would look at Musial's career stat line and pause in awe, feeling my mouth agape, each time as if for the first time. Thanks for posting this, and thanks to Bob Costas, who is a true legend in my mind and to my ears, for fleshing out my deep admiration, and now deeper feeling.

Pujols could not hold a candle to Musial. For one , Musial didn't rely on steroids for his record.

[@jamesdavison2927]

Pujols would be the first to agree with you The PRIVILEGE of being a Cardinals fan is something I always treasure !!!! I never saw Stan play, I'm much too young But in 4th grade I did a report on a "famous Missourian" As a very young Cardinals fan I chose the "Greatest Cardinal of them all" - STAN THE MAN WOW!!!! Our collective love and admiration for "The Man" will be forever

[@timsparks1858]

Dad's favorite player Musial...... Dad's favorite team.........Cardinals. October 1968 was a high point and low point for his Cardinals. Going to the World Series (High) Losing the World Series (Low).

I heard about this eulogy today at a Memorial Celebration for Marty J Capodice in Concord NH. It was held at the Capitol Center for the Arts, in part because it was Marty's second home and in part because it was big enough for all the people who came. One of Marty's personal heroes was Stan Musial. Marty's wife Arnie saw this eulogy and Costas' comment that Hank Aaron(?) said he didn't just like Stan Musial, he wanted to be like Stan Musial. That caught Arnie's attention because she had heard the same thing from several of their friends. Marty was an amazing person, he chose the right role model. RIP to both.

I first heard you doing the Spirits of St. Louis games in the 70s, and on the late great Jack Carney show on KMOX in STL.
