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. Lou Brock would collect 3000 hits and set the most stolen bases in a career mark at that time. Lou Brock has hand signed this official MLB baseball and added the inscription, HOF. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.
