On this day in 1974, Louis Clark Brock (1939-2020) was named Sportsman of the Year. The El Dorado, Arkansas native began his major league career with the Chicago Cubs in 1961 but spent the majority of his big league career as a left fielder for the St. Louis Cardinals as an outfielder. Brock is best known for his base-stealing record, once the major league career and single-season record-holder. Brock and his wife, Jackie, were both ordained ministers serving at Abundant Life Fellowship Church in St. Louis.
