5. Stan Musial
While Albert Pujols dominated the right side of the plate during his time in St. Louis, you would have to go way back to find the Cardinals best hitter on the other side.
Musial, known as “Stan the Man,” was an icon for his generation of ball players. A career .331 hitter, Stan amassed over 3,600 hits and had a total of 475 career home runs. Musial also lead the league in doubles and triples eight and five times, respectively.
Musial did it all. His short, quick swing combined with exceptional power turned him into one of the best all around hitters in the entire sport.
It’s tough to argue where he stands on this list.
