Is Stan Musial a Top 10 hitter of all-time?

St. Louis Cardinals legend Stan Musial is probably a bit overlooked as one of the all-time great hitters. Does he have a case for the Top 10?

Some interesting facts: 1. When he finished the 1944 season, before going into the military, he had 52 career home runs and 64 career triples. 2. The first time he hit over twenty home runs was in 1948, when he hit 39, more than doubling his previous best of 19, which he had hit the previous season. 3. The year he hit 39 home runs, he struck out 34 times. 4. The most he ever struck out was in 1962, when he was 42 years old. He struck out 46 times that year. 5. In only three seasons did he strike out 40 or more times. 6. Of his 3630 hits, exactly half were at home and half were away. 7. He played a mean harmonica.

Along with Al Kaline of the AL (my 2nd favorite), Musial is my most favorite player of all-time in MLB. I wore #6, as did both those players, in my baseball playing days up through 4 seasons in college. In little league, I learned to hit by listening over and over to Musial talking about hitting, on a Phillips 66 Petroleum promotion LP record. (I wish I still had that LP) Musial would have won more awards if he played in NY or LA, but I'm glad he played for the StL Cardinals.

Why is this not a top ten baseball channel on KZbin already

If not, darn close. Great player, largely forgotten.

Mostly did NOT serve in WW2. 1942-44 stats benefited from reduced competition. That said, I agree he is top 10 all time offensively

I have The Man as the 11th (14th overall) best position player of all time between Ty Cobb and Jimmie Foxx. Idk how much higher I could see going with him tho.

Take a look at his Br page and see how many stats are in bold
