Happy 90th, Stan

Break out the harmonicas-- the Greatest Cardinal of them all, Stan Musial, was born in Donora, Pennsylvania 90 years ago today. Stan the Man, who found out this week that he will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom early in 2011, celebrated with pals at the Missouri Athletic Club Friday afternoon. I link to this video clip of the event so that you can see his birthday cake. Most ballplayers walk away from the game having played with a few different clubs. Stan played 22 seasons for the Cardinals, the longest tenure of any big leaguer in history with one team. Just like a 10-year-old Little Leaguer in Jeff City, he gets a red birthday cake with a Cardinals logo on it for his 90th. Where's the knife?
