Welcome to The Musial Awards, a one-of-a-kind event celebrating extraordinary sportsmanship and all that’s right in sports.  Hosted annually in St. Louis,
The Musial Awards recognize the greatest moments and stories of sportsmanship
from around the country.  It is the most meaningful and inspiring night in sports.

Representing all levels of athletics – pro, college, high school and youth –
Musial award winners are honored for remarkable acts of class, character,
kindness, perseverance and selflessness in sports.  Those in attendance are
treated to an incredibly uplifting, entertaining and unforgettable program.    

Formerly the National Sportsmanship Awards, the event is now named in honor of
St. Louis sports icon and Cardinals Hall of Famer Stan Musial.  Stan the Man
embodied dignity, generosity, excellence, civility and integrity – attributes that
define the recipients of “the Musial.”  A fitting tribute to Stan, The Musial Awards
will forever celebrate his legacy of class and sportsmanship.
