ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - "That's true."
Lou Brock never went on the injured list through 19 MLB seasons. He confirmed that in a conversation with our sports director Tom Ackerman. Then he told a story about another famous tough guy in the St. Louis Cardinals and National Baseball Hall of Fames - Bob Gibson.
Brock explained laughing, that he was the one who convinced the Cards team doctor to pull Gibson and put him on the disabled list for an arm injury.
All week on KMOX from Aug. 19-23 you’ll hear from a number of Cardinals Hall of Famers every day throughout Total Information AM, The Charlie Brennan Show, The Mark Reardon Show and Total Information PM. It’s all leading up to this Saturday’s enshrinement ceremony of three new Cardinals Hall of Famers: Scott Rolen, Jason Isringhausen and Mort Cooper.
Take a listen to their full conversation in the audio at the top of this page.
