2011 St. Louis Cardinals World Championship Ring Presented to Stan Musial. It was perhaps the most dramatic turn-around in the long history of Fall Classic competition, the Cardinals twice battling back from their final strike to even the Series at three games apiece, then winning Game Seven to earn rings such as the one offered here. The ultimate symbol of Yogi Berra's famous quotation, "It ain't over 'til it's over," this glimmering keepsake once belonged to the greatest Cardinal of them all.

A red ruby cardinal perches on a golden bat on a field of diamonds adorning the face of the ring, sandwiched between bold text announcing "World" and "Champions." Left shank provides a three-dimensional "Stan Musial" above a ruby filled "St.L" logo and the Hall of Famer's retired number "6." The first five of eleven World Championship seasons are listed below, completed on the right shank beneath text announcing "2011 St. Louis Cardinals" and a ruby-filled number "11," the tally of World Championships for the franchise. Interior band of the white gold beauty is stamped "Jostens 14K," and engraved with the results of the various playoff series, along with the phrase "Happy Flight," a reference to a team policy of winning on the road. Ring is displayed in its original cherry wood and etched glass hinged display case.
Letter of provenance from the Musial family.
