HOFer, Lou Brock’s stolen base record stood for more than three decades. He was a six-time All-Star and helped lead the Cardinals to two World Series titles in 1964 and 1967. His final season was the stuff of legends.After batting .221 for the Cardinals in 1978, Brock said the 1979 season would be his last as a player. Based on his 1978 performance, Brock wasn’t on the ballot for fan voting to select the 1979 National League all-stars. “The pallbearers stepped out last year,” Brock said to the Fort Lauderdale News. “They had the coffin and the nails in, too.” Brock returned to form in 1979, hitting .314 in April and .433 in May, and got the most write-in votes of any National League all-star candidate. At the all-star break, Brock was batting .322 and finished the season with 3,022 career hits. Hillerich & Bradsby C229 Lou Brock pro model bat - 33” / 30.4oz. This bat is properly marked, presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows excellent use. The accompanying PSA/DNA LOA states in part: The bat exhibits excellent use and processes identifiable player use characteristics. We have assigned the bat a grade of PSA/DNA GU 9. Accompanied by the original Mr. Mint auction listing.
