Gramps goes yard
In his first at-bat after becoming a grandfather, Stan Musial – two months shy of his 44th birthday – homers to jump start the Cardinals’ 8-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs 61 years ago today in St. Louis.
The two-run homer in the first inning off Glenn Hobbie is the 474th in Musial’s Hall of Fame career.
His final homer comes six days later off the Dodgers’ Johnny Podres in the Cardinals' 3-1 loss, also in St. Louis.
