1951: Stan Musial
built 177 days ago
In 1951, Stan Musial was nearly as much of a one-man gang in St. Louis as Ralph Kiner was in Pittsburgh. The third-place Cards scored even fewer runs than the seventh-place Pirates. Musial, though, couldn't be stopped. He led the National League in batting (.355), runs (124), triples (12), and total bases (355).

[I]ntroduced in 1951, the L-5 CES is both elegant and simple in design. With a hand engraved tailpiece and "torch" peghead inlay, the L-5 CES is a timeless instrument that continue to be an inspiration to modern artists. Uniting tap-tuned spruce top with maple back and sides, the L-5 CES is a standard which others are judged by and should be included in any serious collection.

Roy Campanella copped the 1951 National League MVP Award. The Brooklyn catcher topped Stan Musial in the voting and was the first National League backstopper since 1938 to be honored. Along with being the top defensive receiver in the senior loop in '51, Campanella was fourth in batting (.325) and third in homers (33).
