Musial Seeks Seventh Batting Title With Focus Return
Stan Musial, star of the St. Louis Cardinals, vowed to concentrate fully on every pitch to win a seventh batting title after admitting he lost about 15 points in 1956 due to reduced focus. He identified Henry Aaron Ted Kluszewski Richie Ashburn and Wally Moon as top rivals and said a .240 to .420 target could win.
