It was in April that Brock was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that starts in the bone marrow’s plasma cells.
In November 2015, the legendary base stealer had his left leg amputated below the knee because of a diabetes-related infection.
Several around the Cardinals organization and Redbirds fans took to Twitter to celebrate the news:
