Interesting scorecard...looks to be pre-printed with most likely lineup, leaving the user to cross off as necessary if changes were made...I never knew that was done. I have always seen blank scorecards.

Its preprinted and whom ever was keeping score that day wrote the batting order in pencil next to the name. Im not really a vintage collector so im not sure if this was common place or not.

It's a shame that Stan was so overlooked throughout his career. I hope that people will now get a chance to see and realize just how great of a player and man he really was. His stats are some of the greatest ever to be entered into the record books but his character as a man accepting blacks into baseball when it wasn't common practice is what makes Stan really The Man.

People should post some of their favorite Musial items they own - it would be cool to see them.

Pre-printed lineups in scorecards/programs occurred with some frequency through the early/mid 1950s with several teams.
