Cardinals legend and Hall of Famer Lou Brock has died.
In his 19-year major league career, from 1961 to 1979, Brock played in 2,616 games, accumulating 3,023 hits in 10,332 at bats for a .293 career batting average. Brock was the record holder for total stolen bases, 938, and single season steals with 118 in 1974. Those records stood until they were broken by Ricky Henderson.
Brock, who had a career batting average of .293, led the majors in steals eight times and scored 100 or more runs seven times. He also accumulated 3,023 career hits. In the postseason, Brock was even more impressive. He had a .391 batting average, with four home runs, 16 RBIs, and 14 steals in 21 World Series games. He led the Cardinals to World Series titles in 1964 and 1967.
