Lou Brock Baseball Cards

About Lou Brock, Hall of Famer

Lou Brock was a left fielder who spent most of his 19-year career with the St. Louis Cardinals after starting with the Chicago Cubs in 1961. A six-time All-Star, Brock became baseball's stolen base king, leading the National League in steals eight times and setting then-major league records for single-season and career thefts. He joined the exclusive 3,000-hit club and maintained a .293 career batting average. Brock helped the Cardinals win the 1964 World Series and reached the 1967 and 1968 World Series, posting remarkable performances in October play. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985 on his first ballot and later served as a special instructor coach for St. Louis.

Did you know? In 1967, Brock became the first player in MLB history to steal 50 bases and hit 20 home runs in the same season.
