Brother of Ollie
Brown of Padres fame....not as successful as his sibling....career reserve outfielder for the
Braves...drafted by three teams in normal sequence...late in draft out of high
school....taken in earlier rounds as he attended community college then
USC...At USC was a teammate of Bill Lee...In an impressive professional debut, hit
.346 in Class A ball....also hit .385 in short cup of coffee stint with the Braves
1970....neither resulted in regular work at either minor or major level....little
power, not in accordance to the doctrine of the early 1970’s Braves....also had brother who played
in NFL....finished hitting .244, 4 home runs/28 RBIs in 316 at bats.
Who was his brother in the NFL?
