"Stand for Stan" Campaign

In 2010, the St. Louis Cardinals launched a campaign to convince President Barack Obama to award Stan Musial the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor, for his lifetime of achievement and service.

Thanks to Cardinals fans who took a Stand for Stan, Musial was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in February 2011 in a ceremony at the White House.

Flat Stan the Man: Fans showed their continued support by taking part in the Flat Stan the Man Project, in cooperation with Dale Hubert's Flat Stanley Project.
