OT: By the age of 27, Donora's Stan Musial...

He was one of the greatest. If the legends from that era played on TV I think people would appreciate them even more.

Donora has such a rich sporting heritage. Really the whole of the mid-Mon Valley but Donora definitely stands out.

Is Donora part of the Pittsburgh region? That pimpled headed, sweat stained, blotchy Chris Mueller from the fan says no

Here is one of my all time favorite stats. Stan the Man accumulated 3630 hits in his career. 1815 at home. 1815 on the road. No lie.

Great player and even better human being standing up for what was right in life.

Nack: Musial was 'The Man' for good reason

Baseball lost one of its true gentlemen and perhaps the most underrated player the game has ever known when the great Stan Musial passed. William Nack remembers the ways in which Stan was "The Man."

Lotta people dont know this, but Stan Musial...a terrific athlete, was on his way to Pitt to play basketball.

Only when a family friend intervened, and convinced dad that his son was no ordinary ballplayer......

I'm 73 and I inherited a "Stan the Man" autographed baseball when I was younger. Dad was a close friend with Stan who was 1st class all the way. Dad grew up between Pittsburgh and Denora. Gotta believe it's worth some money now. Not getting rid of it though. It's headed to my grandkids when I kick the bucket
