Brock 3000th Hit Sets Attendance and TV Timing
Brock's 3000th hit came in a Cub Series night game drawing a Cardinal record 182273 fans and prime time national TV. He shared the moment with Gussie Busch and Stan Musial as ABC coverage bypassed the night game in Philadelphia. Rick Talley to join Valley News, returns to California after 12 years with Chicago Today and Tribune. The White Sox slump, Tony LaRussa's law degree, and SIUC sports notes fill the rest of the issue.
