Cardinals fans know that there was only one "Stan The Man" Musial. But, an opportunity to get close to living like the legendary baseball player has come on the market.

The Ladue home of Stan Musial is up for sale, Realtor.com says. Musial died in January and his wife, Lil, died in May 2012

For thelist price of just under $1.8 million, you can become the new owner of the Musial's home, built in 1962. (More than one account say that was a banner year for Stan The Man).

What's it like inside? Realtor.comdescribes it as a "traditional mid-century with European flair" and says that it "appears that not much has changed since that time."

Photos show a black and white checkerboard-patterned marble entryway, a pool and views of the property's three acre grounds.
