I personally have encountered some of these athletes and it's sad that they don't realize how lucky they truly are. Unfortunately more often than not, there are athletes who expect people to cater to their every need. Musial always acted in a way that showed he was grateful for the opportunity to play baseball. Louis have talked about how revered Musial was and that he was what an athlete should be. While most tributes over the next few days will be focusing on what a great player Musial was, I believe what made him so special was the type of person he was.įans from St. Players as loyal as Musial are a rare breed. Musial was always appreciated by Cardinals fans but I don't think the modern fans truly understood how special he was until their most recent superstar, Albert Pujols, left for a larger market and more money.
