Tough week for legends. Before there was Rickey, this man was the stolen base personified.

Tough week for Keith

Known for his speed, but he was one of only three players to hit a ball into the center field stands at the Polo Grounds.

He started his career as a Chicago Cub.

[Edgy MD]

Those late sixties Cubs might have been far more formidable — and the 1969 Mets would have had a harder road — if Chicago hadn't traded him.



Did a great job staying healthy and on the field (or playing hurt), and kept his wheels far past the age where most guys have lost more than a step. Everybody knows he set the record by stealing 118 bags, but it's far more remarkable when you think that he did it at 35.

That's an incredible likeness of Lou Brock.
