Brock Seeks 3,000 Hits as Cobb Record Stands
Brock, famed base stealer, admits his legs felt rubber as he chased records set by Maury Wills and Ty Cobb. He recalls stints at 28 straight steals and 104 on base as he aimed for Cobb’s 892 career steals, while springing toward 3,000 hits, needing 166 more to join an elite 13. Edward M. Stack of Cooperstown received Brock’s stolen-shoe trophy, and Commissioner Bowie Kuhn praised his pursuit as Pete Rose looms.
