...club. Their infield is speed, power and reliability; with Groat and Julian Javier batting ahead of Bill White and Ken Boyer, the latter should raise their combined total of 200 runs batted in. The Cardinal outfield is every bit as strong: Curt Flood (.296), George Altman (.318) and Stan Musial (.330). If Minnie Minoso can head the bench, the Cards will be hard to stop...
...Willie Mays: a $100,000 contract with the San Francisco Giants, putting him in the select company of such baseball tycoons as Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial, and Ted Williams. In the 1962 season, Mays, 31, led both leagues in home runs with 49, batted in 141 runs. He hit .304 for the year, and it was his home run clout in the last regular-season game against the Houston Colts that sent the Giants into a playoff with the Los Angeles Dodgers and then into the World Series.

The old Mahatma's idea-to retire Stan ("The Man") Musial, 41-produced such a roar that Club President August A. Busch Jr., 63, felt compelled to soothe the outraged fans. With a .330 batting average last season, Stan will stay as long as he likes, said Brewer Busch, and when he wants to quit he has a job as a Cardinal vice president. In St. Petersburg. Fla., sharpening up young hitters, Stan...
...hand it to the Cardinals, though. They've got Stan Musial, and as long as they do, they're a fine team. The question is whether Musial will still be alive by the time he's eligible for the Hall of Fame. If he keeps on playing as long as he's able, he may be dead long before the required five-year waiting period has elapsed...
