Absolutely nothing else needs to be written about Stan Musial.
Everyone who is a baseball fan knows how great he is.
Everyone also knows what a great person he is.

In small comparison to his greatness as a person, is his greatness as a baseball player. In even smaller comparison to that, baseball being quite the numbers sport that it is, permit me to toss out a few numbers for you.

Notes:
Mr. Musial missed the entire 1945 season due to his service in World War II. 
In 1944 he batted .347 and had 197 base hits. 
In 1946 he then batted .365 with 228 base hits - and won his second NL MVP.
