520    Sports journalist George Vecsey finally gives this twenty-
       time All-Star and St. Louis Cardinals icon the kind of 
       prestigious biographical treatment previously afforded to 
       his more celebrated contemporaries. More than just a 
       recounting of Musial's life, this is the definitive 
       portrait of one of the game's best-loved but most 
       unappreciated legends, told through the remembrances of 
       those who played beside, worked with, and covered "Stan 
       the Man" over his nearly seventy years in the national 
       spotlight. Stan Musial never married a starlet. He didn't 
       die young, live too hard, or squander his talent. There 
       were no legendary displays of temper or moodiness. He was 
       merely the most consistent superstar of his era, a scarily
       gifted batsman who compiled 3,630 career hits (1,815 at 
       home and 1,815 on the road), won three World Series titles,
       and retired in 1963 in possession of 17 major-league 
       records. Away from the diamond, he proved a savvy 
       businessman and a model of humility and graciousness 
       toward his many fans in St. Louis and around the world.--
