Death of Lou Brock

Baseball Hall-of-Famer Lou Brock, whose major-league career spanned from 1961 until 1979, has passed away at age 81 from multiple health-related issues.

After spending just over three seasons with the Chicago Cubs, Brock played the bulk of his career with the St. Louis Cardinals.

A lifetime .293 hitter, he led the league in steals eight times, scored 100 or more runs seven times, and amassed 3,023 hits. At one time, he held the records for both single-season and career stolen bases, although each has since been surpassed.

Brock was even better in postseason play, playing on two World Series champions (1964 and 1967), while batting .391 with four homers, 16 RBIs and 14 steals in 21 games. He had a record-tying 13 hits in the 1968 World Series, and in Game 4 homered, tripled and doubled as the Cardinals trounced Detroit and 31-game winner Denny McLain 10-1.
