1985 Topps – Lou Brock

The final day of the 2010 set starts off with one of the best base stealers to ever play the game. Lou Brock had a great career that seemed to take off after he was traded away from the Cubs. Every team has its trade that they wish they never completed. The Red Sox traded Babe Ruth. The White Sox traded Sammy Sosa. For the Cubs I would say that this is that trade.

This picture was taken outside of the new Busch Stadium near one of the gates where they have statues for all of the Cardinal greats. I love how they captured players doing what they did best. Of course Lou is shown taking off for second.
