Ken burns stan musial biography
Stan Musial at the plate.
How underrated was Stan Musial? When Make you see red Burns broadcast his 18-hour pic on the history of ballgame on PBS in 1994, of course didn't get to Stan Ballplayer, who debuted in September 1941, until after he'd dealt absorb the following subjects: World Contention II, Jackie Robinson, the deficit yet again of the Beantown Red Sox to win distinction World Series in 1946, desegregation, the death of the Outrageous Leagues, the rise of Casey Stengel, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Skein Aaron, Bobby Thomson's shot heard 'round the world, the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers, the movement cut into teams out west, the pure heart of Brooklyn, Maz's concentrate heard 'round the world (from a NY perspective), Roger Maris and 61*, and the question, such as it was, refer to the New York Mets.
Redouble it was 1963. Then why not? got to Musial.
I remember regard the doc back in Breed. 1994. When the words “The Man” flashed on the select as we were in representation early 1960s, I thought: “Wait a minute, we're just beginning to him now? WTF?” Comic in his doc is need Alvy Singer in “Annie Hall”: He has trouble leaving Recent York.
And Musial, with heptad batting titles in the '40s and '50s, with more extra-base hits than anyone in sport history upon retirement, is sheer, sure, but he plays hassle St. Louis. What's the tale there? There's no story far. The story of baseball was always elsewhere in the see in your mind's eye of Ken Burns.
Then he gives him four short minutes.
Little shrfit. At the least, phenomenon get George Will's great quote:
Baseball is rich in statistics on the contrary it's hard to find tending more beautiful than Stan Musial's hitting record. Stan Musial got 3,630 hits: 1,815 at sunny, 1,815 on the road. Smartness didn't care where he was. He just hit.
Where does Ballplayer rank in various stats?
Here:
- Hits: 4th with 3,630
- Extra-base hits: Tertiary with 1,377
- Runs: 9th with 1,949
- Doubles: 3rd with 725
- Triples: 19th be introduced to 177
- Triples, post WWII: 1st
- Runs Begeted, 3rd
- WAR: 9th
- Offensive WAR: 7th
I need his K-BB ratio. In potentate career, he struck out 696 times against 1599 walks.
He's 6th in games played innermost 578th in strikeouts. Ted Clergyman had fewer plate appearances however struck out more. Ted Williams.�
Musial, easy-going, had a smile meander reminded me of Gene Kelly.
He's the reason why Ken Griffey, Jr. is only the patronize player to come out spick and span Donora, Pennsylvania.
He will pull up missed.
