As a result, he led the NL in slugging while only hitting 16 homeruns. 365 with 124 runs scored, 228 hits, 50 doubles and even rapped 20 triples. Musial dominated NL pitching leading in every major offensive category except homeruns and rbis. In 1946, Musial not only won his second MVP with the Cardinals but helped them to a World Championship. He picked out two cards based on two of his best seasons. Mike’s also big Musial fan and he did him proud. I was picking through my APBA set collection and found a few Musial cards but I eventually asked Mike Bunch, commissioner of the Illowa APBA League and rabid Cardinals fan to pick one out. Fortunately, ‘Stan the Man’ made the job easy. In fact, I got a few emails this weekend suggesting that Musial be the choice for this week’s Monster Card. With his passing, you had to know this was coming.
