    Default RIP Mr. Brock

    He was one of my favorite athletes of all time, a hometown hero, and decent person.

    "St. Louis Cardinals' Hall of Famer Lou Brock, who had fought through a number of medical conditions in recent years, died Sunday afternoon. He was 81.

    "Brock will be remembered for many accomplishments. He was the National League’s all-time leader in stolen bases with 938. He had 3,023 hits. He was a first-ballot electee into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum."

    He was definitely a special player. One of my ball playing idols as a kid.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.

    Mine too. What a great team the Cards had in those days! Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Curt Flood, Tim McCarver, Orlando Cepeda, Julian Javier. El Birdos!

    We know why you idolized him. Nothing to do with his playing.
