Greatest to Wear the Number: #6
Not including "Big Six," Christy Mathewson, since that was his nickname but not the number he wore:

Musial - as if a Brooklyn Dodger fan could consider anyone else.

Musial is the class of this field. Although it pains me to say so, Kaline is a distant second.

Musial. Kaline is sorta the poor man's Musial, as is Yaz.
The next one should be pretty easy as well. |

Doesn't look like there's much of a contest on this one.

Stan The Man
Kaline a somewhat distant 2nd Stan was Yastrzemski only somewhat better. Moreover, I have never met anyone who did not like Musial - the epitome of class

Is it just me, or is each one of these polls utterly predicatable? (not a criticism, just an observation)
I'm waiting till we get out of the single digits before I cast any votes...#43 should be interesting. |

#5 is pretty close: it does seem that often, one guy with a certain number stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Re: Musial
Quote:
In his 1984 "Historical Abstract", Bill James stated that the image of Musial seemed to be fading, in comparision to DiMaggio, Mantle, and Williams. This is sadly true. James also wrote, and I believe it to be true, that, while active, Stan Musial was the most respected player of his contemporaries. This was evidenced in MVP voting (he had the highest share of MVP voting at the time he retired in history, ahead of Mantle, Williams, and Joe D.), and in the personal regard he was held in. Musial was the hustle of Pete Rose without the self-promoting obnoxiousness. He hit .330 with power (475 lifetime HRs). I have often wondered if Musial would be more vividly remembered if he had finished with 500 HRs. As a man, I would have liked to know Musial, and his nickname, "Stan, the Man" probably is a statement about his persona as much as his play. He's the runaway choice in this poll! |
