St Louis star Brock nears Ty Cobb’s all time stolen base mark with 886 steals, six short, while stressing that reaching 3,000 hits matters as much as the chase. He notes the on base threat changes pitcher strategy and helps teammates drive in runs. Brock aims to extend this on a long Cardinal homestand starting Friday.
