Yesterday the baseball world lost Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock. As ESPN Sunday Night Baseball kicked off coverage of the Cubs/Cardinals game with 20 games left for the Cubs and about half a season left for the Cardinals the Cubs did exactly what all teams are expected to do: Honor the legends we’ve lost, especially when they’ve worn both uniforms. So the game kicked off with a moment of silence for Lou Brock, who played for just two teams, the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals.
A moment of silence and respect is generally how we remember our baseball heroes.
