Lou Brock Motivational Speaker Fee | Booking Agent Contact

Louis Clark Brock was a legendary figure in Major League Baseball (MLB), best known for his exceptional speed and base-stealing prowess. Born on June 18, 1939, Brock began his professional career with the Chicago Cubs in 1961 but truly made his mark after being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in 1964. Over the course of his 19-year career, Brock became one of the most feared base runners in the game, revolutionizing the art of stealing bases. His ability to read pitchers and take off with lightning speed made him a key asset for the Cardinals, helping them secure two World Series championships in 1964 and 1967.

Brock's most notable achievements came in the form of his base-stealing records. At the time of his retirement, he held the MLB record for most stolen bases in a single season (118 in 1974) and the most career stolen bases (938). These records stood for years, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest base stealers in baseball history. In addition to his speed, Brock was a consistent hitter, amassing over 3,000 hits during his career, a milestone that only a select few players have achieved. His ability to combine speed with hitting made him a versatile and dangerous player on the field.

Throughout his career, Brock was a six-time All-Star and led the National League (NL) in stolen bases for eight seasons. He also led the league in doubles and triples in 1968, showcasing his all-around offensive capabilities. In 1974, Brock came close to winning the NL Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award, finishing as the runner-up. His contributions to the game were recognized when he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985 on his first ballot, a testament to his impact on the sport.

After retiring from playing, Brock continued to contribute to the game as a special instructor coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, passing on his knowledge and expertise to younger players. His influence on the game extended beyond his playing days, and he remains a beloved figure in the Cardinals' organization. In 2014, he was inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame, further solidifying his place in baseball history. Brock's legacy as one of the greatest base stealers and all-around players in MLB history continues to inspire future generations of athletes.
