Long known as the greatest Cardinal of them all, Stan Musial will be receiving an even higher honor: he's going to be recognized as one of the greatest Americans of them all.
The grass-roots effort to have St. Louis Cardinals icon Stan Musial receive the most prestigious honor for a civilian in the United States has been successful, just in time for the Hall of Famer's 90th birthday.
After the White House announced today that President Barack Obama will award Stan Musial the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Cardinals Chairman William DeWitt Jr. called to congratulate Mr. Musial. Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig offered his congratulations as well.
