I thought someone was playing a Cardinals theme. I’ve bounced Brock back and forth between my main list and one of my alternates. Wouldn’t you know it, he was an alternate on this year’s list. Dammit. ---

Lou Brock held the stolen base record for many years. One of my favorite sports moments was the day that Rickey Henderson broke his record and was all “Today I AM the greatest!” And then later that day Nolan Ryan went out and pitched his fourth (or fifth?) career no-hitter. As a lifelong Cardinals fan who grew up watching Lou Brock from the Busch Stadium bleachers, it did my heart good to see Henderson taken down a peg or two. ---
