You ain't following Taylor Rooks because she use to cover B1G sports. I know why, it's her looks.🤣Found out about this from his niece Taylor Rooks posting it on Twitter. Another legend. Was always a thorn in the Mets side. R.I.P.
I think that was the day that Marv Throneberry hit a "triple",but was called out for missing both first and second.Marv was also called for obstruction in the top half of that inning.Lou was a physical specimen.
He’s one of only a handful of players who hit a home run to dead center at the Polo Grounds.

You’ve gotta at least touch first so you get credit for a base hit.I think that was the day that Marv Throneberry hit a "triple",but was called out for missing both first and second.Marv was also called for obstruction in the top half of that inning.
The next night,Hank Aaron also hit one into the bleachers,after which Casey held no meetings telling his pitchers to pitch to center field.

The Phillies' largest lead over the Cards was 8.5 on Sept.5th with 27 games to go.It was 6.5 with only 2 weeks to go.Gene Mauch blew it by pitching Bunning and Short three times on 2 days rest.I was just thinking about a ball that Brock to Right center field...some 460+ feet for a HR.
Truly amazing.
I've been a Cardinal fan since 1958 (Boyer. Musial). By the early 60's i was able to listen om KMOX on a radio in our kitchen in Bloomfield NJ: after dark- Skipping radio frequencies. IN 1963 heard Harry Caray announcing for the Cards when Dick Nen hit a pinch HR to virtually ice if fo rthe Dodgers.
The next year the Cards were mired in the pack...and then they traded for some unknown outfielder named Brock. This was the year that the Phillies with Dick Allen gave up a 10 game lead quicker than 💩 thru a goose (Cards won the pennant by +1 game).He was en fuego🐣 before ESPN existed. He became my favorite Cardinal, along with Boyer, Gibby & White. As time went on Brock got better. In 1967 the Cards kept Boston at bay and Brock went nuts on the bases (7 sb's). In 1968 Gibson pitched the Cards to the pennant along with Cepeda, Brock ....and we lost to the Tigers in7 with Brock hitting 464 and stealing another 7 sb's.
He will be missed and remembered.
RIP Lou!

PS The Cards should have paid me to get a Ph.D. They won the WS the year I was born (46). They won the WS the year I graduated HS (65). Cards won the WS the start of my senior year at RU / lost (still can't believe it after Gibby won game 1 with 17 KO's) in 1968 : when I was a graduate assistant. They won the WS the year I finally graduated with a Masters (1982...different subject...long story)....and won again in 2011 (the year my youngest got Bas Mitzvah'd).
It truly is amazing how little managers and pitching coaches paid attention to full rest back in the day.The Phillies' largest lead over the Cards was 8.5 on Sept.5th with 27 games to go.It was 6.5 with only 2 weeks to go.Gene Mauch blew it by pitching Bunning and Short three times on 2 days rest.
As a kid growing up in the 60's and 70's Seaver and Brock were two superstars that you had to love watching play the game the right way.
One of two I believe. Joe Adcock being the other. You need binoculars to see the damned stands. Great ballplayer to say the least.Lou was a physical specimen.

She does have some nice content but her being so fine doesnt hurt. Joy Taylior, Ros Gold Uwude, Maria Taylor, I love some sexy sistas that work in sports. And thevthing is they know their sports cause they're more or less all former athletes themselves. There are others im forgettting also.You ain't following Taylor Rooks because she use to cover B1G sports. I know why, it's her looks.🤣

Brock had 157 at bats against Tom Seaver, the most of any player. And visa versa.
What a shame, he and Billy Williams would have been a great outfield.
No batter faced Seaver more during his 20-year career than Brock did, and no pitcher faced Brock more during his 19-year career than Seaver did. The two faced off 157 times, with Brock going 38-for-152 (.250) with 10 doubles, two triples and a home run. Seaver struck out Brock 21 times and walked him four times.Lou, you can't throw that out and just leave us hanging! How did they do against each other?

Earlier in week I read at 67 All-Star game Brock asked Seaver to get him a coke. Brock did not know who he was, and both die in same week.
Brock went 38 for 152 for a .250 average. 10 doubles, 2 triples and a home run. Seaver struck Brock out 21 times and walked him 4 times.
