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) ...
One of my favorite players ... RIP Mr. Lou Brock!!
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.
