Bio
Recognized as one of the most gifted base runners in baseball, Lou Brock
helped to revolutionize the art and science of this element of the game
as he totaled 938 stolen bases during his 19-year career. A six-time All-Star
selection, Brock also accumulated more than 3,000 hits to help lead the
St. Louis Cardinals to three National League pennants and two World Series
championships. Although his stolen base records have been eclipsed, the
National League honors each year’s stolen base leader with the Lou Brock
Award.
