On this day in 1979 Lou Brock stole his final base, his 938th.  That didn't stop everyone from talking about the trade that sent Brock from the Cubs to the Cardinals.  

In a 13-year stretch from 1964 to 1976 Brock received MVP votes in 10 seasons.

He didn't do anything amazing with the Cubs, but another Hall-of-Famer on the team certainly might have helped the Cubs to finally win something.

Brock played another seven days after his last stolen base.   Here is a recap.

9/24 - he didn't play
9/25 - no hits; sac. fly & RBI
9/26 - he didn't play
9/27 - he didn't play
9/28 - he made an out as a pinch-hitter in game 1; In game 2 he got a pinch single and was caught stealing by pitcher Neil Allen and catcher John Stearns.
9/29 - he pinch-hit again and made an out
9/30 - he goes 0-for-4 with two strikeouts

Stearns and Allen were the last ones to get Brock out in a stolen base attempt.  Maybe that's why they both managed to get a Kellogg's card.
