Lou Brock RIP

I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Brock - A true gentleman and class act. RIP

Here is a scorecard from the Sept 10 1961 game where Lou Brock led off with a single in his ML debut, and then was doubled up when Ken Hubbs ground out to short in his ML debut.

My boss threw out a first pitch at a Cards game a few years ago and wore a Brock jersey in tribute. He's going to be bummed.

I never met him, formally, but I did encounter him at a card show about 15 years ago. I was looking at the cards on a table, and when I happened to look up Lou Brock was standing about 10 feet away. I didn't say anything, but my eyes must have got wide because he smiled and said "hi." I smiled back and said something like "Lou Brock!" Minor incident, but he seemed like a good man on the field and off. Hard to believe he's gone.
