Behind the McDaniel-fortified pitching staff, the Cards' aging stars are bursting with new life. At 36, First Baseman Stan Musial is no longer able to play through both games of a doubleheader, has a little trouble now and then getting his legs to catch up with pop fouls. But he can still hit a baseball with deadly precision, is second in the league in batting (.342), homers (21), and runs batted in (67). Giant castoff Shortstop Al Dark...
