Stanley Frank "Stan the Man" Musial is a retired Polish-American professional baseball player who was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1969.

He spent 22 seasons playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, from 1941 to 1944 and 1946 to 1963 (taking 2 years out to serve in the military during WW II). He is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most consistent hitters in baseball history.

What is 'Stan' when translated from English to Italian?

Stasio is an Italian equivalent of the English name "Stan." The masculine diminutive in question serves as an affectionate nickname to the Italian Stanislao ("Stanislav"), whose original Slavic origins trace back to the combination of stani ("to become") and slava ("fame," "glory"). The pronunciation will be "STA-syo" for the nickname and "STA-nee-SLA-o" for the forename in Italian.
