Don't quote me on this, but I think it was something along those lines.

Musial was under contract with the Rawlings co.
and could only be on Rawlings products. He is on a few others (red man)? because Rawlings allowed them the image.

He simply was under an exclusive contract which he signed with the Rawlings co.
"Molon Labe"
I remember on day back when I was about 9 or 10. The Yanks were playing the Twins and it was the
bottom of the ninth, Killer was up and the Twins were down by a run or 2 (I forget) I was listening to the game on the radio
and my dad said (while doing something else) "This guy is gonna hit a homer and the Twins will win the game" Sure enough Killer hits the homer,
the Twins win and I was amazed how my father knew.
I guess you had to be there.

<< <i>I'd be very content if we had two guys like Killebrew and Musial playing today >>
You've just hit on exactly why I collect the players I do. Stan Musial, Harmon Killebrew, Brooks Robinson, Bob Gibson and Roberto Clemente are all guys that played the game the right way and gave back to the community. I wish i could have had the chance to have seen them play in person.
