The irony behind Lou Brock's 3000th hit is amazing. On August 13, 1979, Lou Brock collected his 3000th hit off of the Chicago Cubs who 15 years earlier traded him away for a pitcher that only won seven games for the rest of his career. No one covered the 90 feet between bases more productively than Lou Brock.
His 938 stolen bases set an all-time record (since surpassed by Rickey Henderson), making him an intimidating presence on the basepaths. One of a select group of players to collect 3,000 hits, Brock hit 149 career home runs including a 500-foot blast that landed in the Polo Grounds' center field bleachers in 1962.
