Musial Breaks NL At Bat Record in Pittsburgh
Stan Musial of the St. Louis Cardinals set a National League career at bat record with his 10 428th plate appearance in the second game at Pittsburgh. The Donora, Pennsylvania star added a double and raised his average to .339 as fans of 26 905 applauded. Musial already held NL marks for games hits and runs this season and the major league total bases record, but he said the achievement felt like an accumulation rather than a record. He still trails Ty Cobb by 1 002 at bats for the all time major league mark.
