Hall of Famer Lou Brock passed away today (9/6) at age 81.

Brock was among the best base stealers in MLB history. Acquired from the Cubs during the 1964 season for Ernie Broglio, Brock joined the Cardinals and helped them to a World Series championship in 1964. He did so again in 1967, and went to the Fall Classic with them in 1968, where St. Louis was beaten by the Tigers in 7 games.

Brock ended his career with 3,023 hits and 938 SB.
