  :This is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid. In some cases where a person has had public struggles, or their lives intertwined with other noteworthy people, it's appropriate to put it in there. Like the Bob Costas quote in the article, one of the most remarkable things about Musial is that there isn't anything sensational. Since this is the discussion section I can state my personal opinion here. Musial has stayed in St. Louis, the city that made him famous, and he's always been generous in giving his time to charitable causes, even as his age has advanced and his health has declined. Virtually everyone who asks him for an autograph gets one. Why do you have interest in trashing the reputation of an old man who's done nothing but give back to his community for the past 40 years since his career ended?
