Five things worth mentioning about Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday at Busch Stadium:
NO. 1: A PERFECT KNIGHT
The Cardinals made it a memorable night, Stan Musial made it a Perfect Knight. Approaching his 92nd birthday, the living legend was introduced before the game as goose bumps ran wild.
Musial was chauffeured around the stands wearing a Cardinals jacket and waving to fans. Classy Giants skipper Bruce Bochy shook hands with No. 6 and players from both dugouts applauded as Musial handed a game ball to manager Mike Matheny.
It was William Shakespeare who wrote, "Be not afraid of greatness; some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
And some are just The Man.
