Arizona Cardinals fans can see former wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald receive the Musial Award for Extraordinary Character on Sunday.
The Musial Awards, named in honor of former St. Louis Cardinals baseball great Stan Musial, have been held in St. Louis every November since 2005.
The awards celebrate the year’s greatest moments of sportsmanship and those in sports who embody class and character. The mission is to encourage kindness, selflessness, integrity and civility in sports and society – and to inspire people across the nation to be good sports.
Broadcaster Bob Costas received the Stan Musial Lifetime Achievement Award, while Billy Crystal performed at the event and also had a conversation with Costas.
The show will air at 3 p.m. Arizona ( 5 p.m. ET) time on on Sunday and again at 5 p.m. Arizona time (7 p.m. ET) on the CBS Sports Network.
“We are grateful that CBS Sports provides us the opportunity to share the inspiration, hope, and joy of the Musial Awards with the entire country,” said Marc Schreiber, president of the St. Louis Sports Commission, which, along with the National Sportsmanship Foundation, produces the Musial Awards. “The show rises to a new level this year as we are honored to recognize the likes of Bob Costas, Larry Fitzgerald Jr., and Salvador Perez, and have the participation of Billy Crystal.
“As always, we hope the humanity of our honorees and the heartwarming stories featured in the broadcast will uplift and inspire viewers throughout the nation.”
