Two Baseball Legends Pass Away

Fate was unkind to baseball today. It took away over night Manger great of the Baltimore Orioles Earl Weaver, the Umpire Union's greatest nemesis. He and his wife of 48 years were on a Carribean cruise when he died of a sudden heart attack in his sleep. He was 82.

Just this evening Stan Musial a career St. Louis Cardinal and widely recognized as the franchises greatest player died. He passed away at 92 of what is believed to be natural causes. Stan is an all-time fan favorite of the sport to this day and loved fans as much as they did him.

Wow. That's sad. I'm not a baseball fan myself, but I can see how this will affect those who follow the sport and these two legends. They will be missed.

Extremely unfortunate, These (from what I heard) were extrodinary men who contributed so much to the game. They will be missed, I really wish I could see baseball back in its hay day instead of this steroid drama bull crap.
