According to Baseball Ref, Musial started with the Williamson Colts on 1938, and they were unaffiliated. However, the next season, he was on the team again, they were now the Williamson Red Birds and they were now affiliated with StL. It seems like it's an oversight..but I can't imagine Baseball Ref has an oversight on a Top 10 player that we just casually ran into, haha.
