Prior to his passing last weekend, Stan Musial had requested that long-time friend and sportscaster Bob Costas be among those to speak at his funeral. On Saturday, Costas honored that request in front of a large gathering — including some fans who were able to squeeze in — at the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis.
And he knocked it out of the park.
The video of Costas' eulogy comes to us from MLB.com. It lasts around 20 minutes in length and touches on everything — on and off the field — that made Stan who he was — “The Man”. It also includes a memorable quote from Yogi Berra that really sets the tone and stories about Musial playing cards with some of the National League’s absolute best during the 1950s.
I can't really do it justice with my written words, so I won't continue trying. It's simply a great listen and it's well worth the investment of your time.
