Eckstein’s Un driven Corvette | St. Louis News

David Eckstein thought he was walking off the 2006 World Series with a bright yellow Corvette—only to later discover it was a promotional stunt. After earning MVP honors with a stellar .360 batting average and clutch plays, he finally got to pick his dream car: a sleek black-on-black Corvette with red brakes, customized with his autograph and the World Series logo. He even gifted it to his brother, who helped him get to the majors. Nearly two decades later? The car’s only got 13K miles—and that’s because Eckstein still can’t drive a stick shift. He admits it to Jay Leno, and still laughs about it today. A quirky, heartwarming footnote to one of baseball’s most iconic championship runs.
