November 21 in Donora, PA...

[First Speaker]

...in 1920, on that date, a left-handed slugging outfielder was born there named Stan Musial.

...in 1969, also on that date, another left-handed slugging outfielder named Ken Griffey, Jr, was born there.

I wouldn't be surprised if major league teams have already scrutinized the births in Donora on November 21, 2018. Is there a four-year old boy there already being scouted...?

1. My Uncle George and his brothers grew up in the same neighborhood playing ball with Stan.

I think he and my Uncle Joe graduated high school the same year.

Stan never forgot where he came from. All the stories about him being a good guy are true, at least from my older family members' perspective.

2. How cool is that!

...from everything I've heard of Musial, I'd believe he was a good guy. Incidentally--an all-time all-star team of Good Guys would wipe out the Bad Guys team...

4. It's very cool. My son's college roommate, 18, also idolizes Musial.

Glad to see Stan the Man's influence (although the neighborhood boys called him Stush) fire up a fourth generation of ball fans.

3. Stan Musial was my boyhood hero.

I had just started reading and understanding the box scores in the sports section of the newspaper some time in the fifties when Musial hit five home runs in a double header. I followed every Cardinal game after that.

5. One of the great coincidences.

Musial was one of the greatest players of all time, and Junior wasn't bad, either. Senior was pretty decent, too, lest we forget, and he was born in Donora, too. In fact, his dad went to high school with Musial.
