"When Butch Yatkeman handed out uniforms, he surveyed us with the experienced eye of a tailor and threw us what he thought would fit best. The uniforms, of course, bore numbers then unassigned. I drew number 6. I've never worn any other in the big leagues and, long before I laid it aside, Mr. Busch decided that for the first time the Cardinals would retire a number." - Stan Musial in The Life and Times of Stan Musial: Stan The Man (Wayne Stewart, 1964)
