Great ballplayer. The name of game has passed those that could run.

one of my real favrites back when only 8 NL teams and us kids could see all the real stars come thru. 

AND, there were some bad trades over the years  -  Sadecki for Cepada  /  Robby for Milty Papoose - but, one of the stinkers of all times  =  Ernie Broglio for Lou Brock.  the Cards pulled down the cubbies pants on that one

Yeah this was sad news. What amazes me is that many have the gall to belittle those who could reminisce about when the game and their players set the bar and the game was great. Oh how the young ones got cheated by ignorance and will never understand.

Lou turned the 68 world series around when he did not slide in tag up from 3rd. Out at plate. Kept mickey in game to bat next inning. Hr . Tigers win then on to setis win. Rest in peace lou and Al K
