It looks at Stan's support racial integration in baseball, as well as the tragedy that struck his hometown of Donora, Pennsylvania, and claimed many lives, including his father's. The slew of never-before-published material and revealing anecdotes gained through numerous exclusive interviews with former classmates, relatives, friends, teammates, and contemporaries allow this book to shed fresh light on the legendary Musial while making the book a must-read for all baseball fans. This updated, paperback edition includes a new, commemorative section written after Musial's passing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWayne Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e has written more than 500 sports articles for publications such as \u003ci\u003eBaseball Digest\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBoys' Life\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e USA Today Baseball Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, and is the author of 25 books, including \u003ci\u003eBabe Ruth: A Biography\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBaseball Dads\u003c\/i\u003e.
