Stand for Stan

Stan "The Man" Musial was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He is also arguably one of the greatest people to put on a major league uniform. To be honest, I don't think the Cardinals gave him enough recognition at the St. Louis All-Star Game. Musial's service to the community is well known around St. Louis but the Cardinals have started a grassroots 'Stand for Stan' campaign to prompt the President to bestow Mr. Musial will the highest civilian honor that a U.S. citizen can receive, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and Hank Aaron have all received the honor. Stan deserves to be in that list. The only bad thing is they've created this goofy looking cartoon of Stan that you can print for this campaign... whatever it takes I guess. At least it's a better likeness than the statue in front of Busch Stadium. You can sign the petition and write a letter here.
