Baseball's perfect knight is no longer with us.
According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cardinals great Stan Musial died in St. Louis at 5:45 p.m. local time on Saturday evening. Goold says Musial was "surrounded by family" when he passed.
"Stan the Man" -- a picture of poise, grace and consistency -- tallied 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 on the road over the course of his 22-year major league career.

Wow, Earl Weaver and now Stan Musial passing away on the same day. Truly a sad day for baseball.
Agreed, Mr. Bill. It’s A Very Sad Day For Baseball. :*(
