Holding high the baseball that figured in his 3,000th hit, Stan Musial responds happily to a noisy reception by fans at Union Station on May 13, 1958. The crowd gathered early to greet the 11:15 p.m. arrival of the train from Chicago, bringing the Cardinals home after a successful two-day trip. Musial, batting in place of Sam Jones, hit a double that drove in a run in a winning rally. The Redbirds won 5-3, for their sixth straight triumph. Keeping the crowd in check is Patrolman Joseph F. Haney of Central District. Post-Dispatch file photo
