An article in the Kansas City Star raises the question as to whether NICE guys can win in sports I nominate Stan Musial as an example of a winner who is nice. Stan is he subject of the cover story in Sports Illustrated 8-2-10. (The article happened to be written by Joe Posnanski, former sports writer for the Star). Stan, who will be 90 next Nov. 21, and played with the St. Louis Cardinals for 22 years, is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Yet he is modest. He loves people, and likes to make them happy. And everyone loves Stan (except for one pitching to him) He was never too busy to sign his autograph When he had a bad year, he asked to have his salary be cut. He has been married to his childhood sweetheart for 70 years. We need more like Stan.
