Though popular with the ladies, and even more popular with the men of Kansas City, LaCock will not be hallowed in bronze at Cooperstown. But he will be long remembered for his sweet stroke and his ability to perform under pressure. Many fans still ask for LaCock at autograph sessions, but he values his privacy and it has become increasingly difficult to coax him out in public. However, he continues to host the annual LaCock Charity Ball and chair the well-endowed LaCock Foundation-- a major benefactor of the Johnson County Men's Health Clinic.
