Lou Brock’s 1979 Game-Used St. Louis Cardinals Uniform: A Piece of Baseball History

A Legendary Career

Lou Brock, an iconic figure in the world of baseball, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985 on the first ballot. A six-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, Brock’s legacy is cemented as one of the greatest base stealers in the history of Major League Baseball. His remarkable career achievements include being second all-time in stolen bases, surpassed only by Rickey Henderson. The St. Louis Cardinals have honored his contributions to the team by retiring his No. 20 jersey.

This extraordinary uniform, worn by Brock during the 1979 season, is a testament to his illustrious career. The jersey features the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag, size “40,” with washing instructions, and a flag tag reading “SET 1 1979.” Across the chest, the word “Cardinals” is emblazoned beneath the team’s iconic “Birds on a bat” logo, rendered in vibrant red, navy blue, and yellow embroidery. The player number “20” is prominently displayed on both sleeves and the back, while “BROCK” is elegantly stitched across the back in red on navy blue tackle twill.
