Stan's day
Stan Musial, the greatest Cardinal of them all, is at the White House today to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Musial and basketball great Bill Russell become the 19th and 20th sports-related recipients of the award. It's an extraordinary national honor even though one of these was once presented to Donald Rumsfeld.The ceremony begins approximately at 12:30 central time (with possible delays due to the President's often-changing schedule), and live streaming video of the ceremony will be available at Whitehouse.gov and MLB.com.
Stan has a long connection to politics, and just how cool is he? According to Bernie Miklasz on assignment in Washington, the baseball great supported George McGovern for President in '72.
