stan the man

The great Stanley Frank Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals, of course. He got the name when a sportswriter overheard a Brooklyn Dodger fan say 'uh-oh, here comes that man again' as Musial was walking to the plate at a game at Ebbetts Field, sometime in the 40s. In 1946 Musial led the National League in games played, at-bats, runs scored, hits, singles, doubles, triples, RBIs, total bases, slugging percentage, and batting average.

Stan the Man went into the Hall of Fame in 1968.

diamond sombrero

a more humiliating feat than the golden sombrero. 0 for 5 with 5 strikeouts. I don't believe even that bum Jim Edmonds has done it. However, Andrew Jones of the Braves did it the other night.

Many a player has worn the golden sombrero but few have worn the diamond sombrero
