El Dorado (Union County) native Lou Brock retired from major league baseball after the 1979 season. Brock began his major league career with the Chicago Cubs in 1962, but it was with the St. Louis Cardinals two years later that he began to make his mark. He helped lead the Cardinals to two World Series championships and was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1985.
