Between September 14th and October 1st, Brown threw 13 innings for Seattle, not figuring in a decision along with a 4.15 earned run average, with eight strikeouts and four base on balls.
He would never make it back on a Major League mound, pitching the next three years in the Minors for the Texas, Cleveland and Toronto organizations.
While looking into his short career I noticed that he originally started his pro career in 1971 in the Kansas City Royals system as a 21-year-old, yet seemed to be off the map until he hooked up with the Baton Rouge Cougars of the Gulf Coast League in 1976.
I can’t find anything regarding those missed years in between, and what led him to the GCL five years later.
Anyone have more info on him? I tried Google but didn’t come up with anything.
Strange...
