Many people forget how much power Lou Brock ... for only hitting 149 career home runs, he had a fair amount of tape measured one. In 1968, I couldn't stand the guy ... until this play (compliments of Willie Horton and Bill Freehan) ...

I was a senior in high school when he was on his way to 118 SB's. The crowd would chant "Go..Go..Go" when he got on base.

RIP Lou

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Brock and speaking to him at the Albany, New York airport. He was a very personable guy and a tremendous ballplayer.
Rest in peace sir. Condolences to family and friends.
