Stan Musial died Saturday surrounded by family. He was 92. The former Springfield Cardinal won seven National League batting titles, three Most Valuable Player honors and led the Redbirds to three World Series championships in the 1940's. The baseball hall of fame inductee became one of the game's greatest ambassadors after his playing days ended.
Here are what many in the Ozarks are saying about Stan the Man Musial's legacy as a Cardinal:

Stan Musial's contract with the Springfield Cardinals in 1941, for $150 per month. It was auctioned in 2010 for $6,000. twitter.com/iamchrisbrewer…
