Cardinals legend Lou Brock passed away today at age 81. According to Rick Hummel of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Hall-of-Famer had been dealing with “a number of medical conditions in recent years.”

Over 19 seasons in the majors, Brock displayed nothing less than mastery of the basepaths, recording 938 stolen bases (from 1245 total chances). Brock is the National League’s all-time stolen base leader, and his 118 steals in 1974 is also the league’s single-season record. Only Rickey Henderson has more career steals in Major League history, and given how the stolen base has become a less-popular tactic in recent years, it certainly seems like Henderson and Brock will continue to reign atop the all-time steals list for decades to come.

I have always been a Cardinals fan and he was my first favorite baseball player when I was a kid. RIP Mr. Brock.

Sorry to hear that another great MLB player has passed away. Two HOFer's passing away with only a few days a few days between (Seaver & Brock).

I agree with Rodney that it is sad to lose to great HOFers in a short time! Lou Brock was amazing to watch him steal bases! Tom Terrific was amazing also! RIP brothers!

Maybe not the best card I own. But I still have the first card I ever bought at a local card shop back in 1980. 1977 Topps Lou Brock.
