Hall of Famer and longtime St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Lou Brock died on Sunday afternoon after a lengthy battle with numerous medical issues, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
He was 81.
Brock was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and had lost a leg to diabetes in recent years, according to the Associated Press. The specific cause of his death is unclear.
“Over my 25-plus years of being his agent, he was perhaps the happiest Hall of Famer I’ve ever encountered,” Brock’s agent Dick Zitzmann said, via the Associated Press.
