...second inning at Milwaukee's County Stadium, and the old man on the mound stared coldly at the old man in the batter's box-the Braves' Warren Spahn, 42, baseball's dean of pitchers, against the St. Louis Cardinals' Stan Musial, 42, who had just added Babe Ruth's extra-base hit record to the 54 other marks he holds or shares. Spahn wound up and threw. Crack! Thunk! Oof! A screaming line drive hit Spahn squarely in the belly. He staggered and fell. Somehow he picked up the ball and threw Musial...
...ballplayers have their grandparents rooting for them. It will not be long before Stanley Frank Musial can spot his grandchildren in the stands. At 42, the St. Louis Cardinal outfielder is the oldest active player in the major leagues; he has a 23-year-old son (who plans a career in business or the Army instead of baseball) and a daughter-in-law who is expecting a baby in August.

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. Al ready the highest-paid active player in baseball (the aging Musial...
...rigors of spring training are still more than a month off, but baseball's geriatric wonder, St. Louis Cardinal Outfielder Stan Musial, 42, was already embarking on his own workout program by running a brisk mile twice a week. Then "The Man," who hit a blistering .330 last season (his 22-year average: .333), dropped by the Cardinal offices to make all the exercise worthwhile. He signed a contract for an estimated $65,000. "I never felt better," said Stan, "and that's hard to say when you're getting older...
