By nearly every measure, Musial proved himself to be possibly the best hitter in the history of baseball. He was the National League Batting Champion seven times, including three years in a row between 1950 and 1952; he led the NL in doubles eight times, in triples five times, and in RBIs twice; and he led the Cardinals to three World Championships. His 3,630 hits is fourth on the all-time career list.
