The death was announced by the team and was ascribed to natural causes.
The most beloved Cardinal of all, Mr. Musial led the National League in batting seven times in the 1940s and ‘50s and was voted the league's most valuable player three times. His lifetime batting average was .331, his total of 3,630 hits ranks fourth all-time, and he was a perennial all-star. After spending the entirety of his 22-year career with the Cardinals, Mr. Musial retired in 1963 with so many firsts to his credit that he may have carved out a new category: the record for holding the most records at one time.

Next to Ruth, he is one of my favorite all-time players. Great, but humble. A man's man. Rest in peace & tell the Babe (THE greatest player of all time, no question about it) I said "hi!", Stan the Man.
Musial was what baseball was all about.
God rest his amazing soul.
