		<description><![CDATA[St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock is currently auctioning off 78 memorabilia items.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><br />
Continuing the theme in a year of auctions by former Cardinals greats <strong><a href="http://stlcardinals.scout.com/2/903970.html">Bob Gibson</a></strong> and <strong><a href="../2009/11/02/curt-flood-memorabilia-auction-planned/">Curt Flood</a></strong>, Hall of Famer <strong>Lou Brock</strong> is next in line. The legendary “baseburglar” is offering a number of his personal baseball-related items for sale this month.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img class="alignright" title="Lou Brocks 1967 world championship ring" src="/wp-content/uploads/ultimatebaseball/Brock ring 67 200.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="150" /><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Legendary Auctions, the same house that sold almost a half-million dollars worth of Gibson’s memorabilia this summer, is <a href="http://www.legendaryauctions.com/catalog.aspx">currently featuring</a> a Brock collection of 78 items. Online and phone bidding begins today, Monday, November 9.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Included are at least three items directly a part of his then-record-setting 893<sup>rd</sup> stolen base in 1974 – his game jersey, the actual bag from the stolen base and the ball from that play. Brock’s 1967 championship ring, gloves, jerseys, bats, other game-used equipment items and commemorative balls are up for sale, including the one from his last hit as a major leaguer. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A really unique item is the “20” pennant that flew above the old Busch Stadium to recognize Brock’s retired number. A wide variety of different award plaques, cups and trophies are among the heirlooms to be auctioned as well as a number of oil paintings of Brock, including ones by <strong>Leroy Neiman</strong> and Flood. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Alas, not a single Brockabrella is being offered…</span></p>
