Hall of Famer Lou Brock has begun undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, the Cardinals announced Thursday in a press release that cancelled the Cardinals legend's upcoming appearance at Busch Stadium.

The beloved former outfielder and first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1985 had been scheduled for an April 25 appearance at the ballpark. His treatment, which is taking place in St. Louis after his recent diagnosis, will keep him from the ballpark.

"I am disappointed that I won't be able to make the event," Brock said in the release.
