Robert William Patrick Broeg (March 18, 1918 October 28, 2005) was an American sportswriter and newspaper editor who covered the St. Louis Cardinals for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for forty years. After the war, Broeg joined the St. Louis Star-Times[3] and then the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in 1945. He was reportedly the most prolific writer in the history of the Post-Dispatch. He penned his final Post-Dispatch column in 2004. he helped Bob Gibson win the 1967 World Series. Gibson was unable to get breakfast at the Cardinals' hotel in Boston, so Broeg delivered a ham and egg sandwich. Gibson pitched a complete, winning game. Broeg is known for coining the nickname "Stan the Man" for Cardinal baseball player Stan Musial, working on the Hall of Fame causes of Cardinals Red Schoendienst, Enos Slaughter and Chick Hafey and helping to devise, and successfully push for the first pension plan for veteran major-league players. Broeg published 20 books on sports. He also wrote a column for The Sporting News for decades. Broeg said he wished his epitaph to read, "Hopefully, he was fair, as in just, not as in mediocre." Bob Broeg died several days after the final game of the 2005 World Series. Autobiography written by Stan Musial as told to Bob Broeg of the St Louis Post-Dispatch in 1965.
