1979 Lou Brock St. Louis Cardinals Game-Used Bat

Lou Brock’s Legendary Bat: A Testament to Baseball Excellence

A Storied Career

Lou Brock, a name synonymous with speed and skill, etched his legacy into the annals of baseball history with a stolen base record that stood unchallenged for over three decades. As a six-time All-Star, Brock was instrumental in leading the St. Louis Cardinals to World Series triumphs in 1964 and 1967. His career was a tapestry of remarkable achievements, culminating in a legendary final season that defied expectations and solidified his place among the greats.

The 1979 Season: A Triumphant Farewell

After a challenging 1978 season where he batted .221, Brock announced that 1979 would be his swan song. Despite not being on the ballot for fan voting, Brock’s indomitable spirit shone through. He began the season with a .314 average in April and an astounding .433 in May, earning the most write-in votes of any National League All-Star candidate. By the All-Star break, Brock was batting .322, and he concluded the season with an impressive 3,022 career hits.
