Coming into this league as a 21-year-old kid, Lou Brock was one of the first Hall-of-Fame players I had the privilege to meet. He told me I belonged here in the big-leagues. pic.twitter.com/JIbSKMYI13
Lou Brock the Base Burglar was a class act on and off the field. Made @Cardinal baseball what it is. Had the ability to change the momentum of a game with his legs and his bat. May he Rest In Peace. One of the greatest Cardinals of all time.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Lou Brock. Many years of rivalries between us but always respected Lou as a person and player. My thoughts are with the Brock family and the Cardinals nation. pic.twitter.com/0TOO0IlVbf

I never saw Lou Brock play, but Dad & Gramp talked so much about how fast he was that in my mind he is always running, and even as he aged & I saw him at HOF and MLB events, I always imagined him moving more quickly than everyone else. Run in Peace, Lou! #RIPLouBrock pic.twitter.com/BpvRoARAXz
