Wrap: First a bridge--now a holiday. State lawmakers have voiced approval to name a holiday after a Cardinals legend.
"Stan Musial Day" would be on November 21, Musial's birthday.
Republican Representative Dwight Scharnhorst has filed a bill to name the new I-70 bridge after Musial, and says he is also on board with the new holiday.

Description: "He's one of those people that if I ever, with my two grandsons, if I ever had to leave town in an emergency, and I needed to leave them with anybody. You could leave them with Stan Musial and never have to worry." |
Scharnhorst says if approved, "Stan Musial Day" would only be a state holiday.
That means nobody would get off work because on behalf of Musial.
