Both of these guys- Musial and Albert Pujols– have their claims as the greatest St. Louis Cardinals player ever, up there with guys like the Dean Brothers, Bob Gibson, Ozzie Smith, Lou Brock, and Rogers Hornsby.
These are the upper echelon of greats that set the league on fire from the moment they entered the league and remained great for many years, etching their names in the history books along the way.
Pujols and Musial are certainly no exception
Stan Musial had a career longevity that is unmatched by most position players today.
