Once (Stan) Musial timed your fastball, your infielders were in jeopardy.
When I was working on the unauthorized biography 'Stan Musial: An American Life,' which came out in 2011, old opponents recalled how Musial knew their names after they had been in the majors only a few days.
How good was Stan Musial? He was good enough to take your breath away.
There is only one El Hombre and that is Stan Musial.
That's why it's so important to have that gap between your fastball and off-speed pitches: then, when you effectively locate your fastball, it plays at a higher velocity.
I hope by the time that I'm done in this game, I can have half the numbers Stan Musial had in his career.
Everybody wants to know, 'How do you throw a curveball, how do you throw a slider, how do you throw this and that,' when they can't even locate a fastball. Learn how to control your fastball and then once you've got that, move on to other things.
I've had pretty good success with Stan (Musial) by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third.
Stan Musial, who said, Why didn't they make me the first Polish pope? I was such a good Cardinal. Never got a dinner!
Baseball's rich in wonderful statistics, but it's hard to find one more beautiful than Stan Musial's hitting record. He didn't care where he was, he just hit.
No man has ever been a perfect ballplayer. Stan Musial, however, is the closest to being perfect in the game today.

Some great players, like Ted Williams and Stan Musial, had one more great hitting season left around the age of 40.
God is the Man, and there's another Man, Stan 'The Man' Musial in St. Louis.
I'm pretty proud of my fastball. I can throw a screwball. It's not as accurate, and I don't have the velocity like I do with my fastball, but I think my fastball is not too shabby.
In baseball, there is something electrifying about the big leagues. I had read so much about Stan Musial, Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson. I had put those guys on a pedestal. They were something special. I really thought they put their pants on different, rather than one leg at a time.
Everybody in St. Louis, every kid in St. Louis, wanted to be Stan Musial. He was the best.
