Stan Musial Lies Into Big 1951 Season With Cards
Stan Musial, the NL’s premier hitter, powers toward another big season with the St. Louis Cardinals as his average nears .400 and he contends for the league lead in doubles, triples, home runs, and RBIs. Atttendance trends show the circuit behind 1950 despite strong league totals. Philadelphia and St. Louis lag in the American League context, while Brooklyn tops NL admissions. Other notes include Kermit Wahl’s impact on the Browns, Toby Lyong’s rise in Western New York golf, and a Pennsylvania bribery in sports bill moving to the Senate. The Pirates turmoil around Manager Billy Meyer continues amid fan speculation. Sam Nissell earns the Holland Award at Providence, and Penn State schedules a 1952 football slate with ten games, five at home.
