I’m sorry to hear this. I always admired Brock, even as a Mets fan.
My childhood has taken quite the 1-2 punch to the gut this past week.
Lost in the flash of his stolen bases is the fact that he had 3000+ hits. Great all round player and by all accounts a good person.
Read last night that he and Seaver faced off against each other more time than any other pitcher/hitter in their careers.
One of my all time favourites! Loved watching him play. RIP Lou!
Ricky might have broken his record but Lou was the best! Class act all the way! Guy has a19 year career and almost a .300 batting average. Wow! GeeZ, this is making me think about how much I miss the atmosphere of a ballpark.

didn't seaver just die this week too?
Lou Brock was one of a group of very few players
that set the standard in a statistical category for his generation.
The guy could really swipe 'em.
One of my favorite's growing up.
One of the great all-time Cardinals.
One of the best ever.
Lou was a revered player and Cardinal alumnus in St. Louis and a class act through and through. Sad day for Cardinal nation but we were so blessed with his talents and his service to the community over the decades.
