Bob Brown Stats

Bob Brown was born on Saturday, April 1, 1911, in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Brown was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 21, 1930, with the Boston Braves. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Bob Brown baseball stats page.

"Bob Brown, who pitched for the Braves in the thirties, was the fastest pitcher I ever saw. I saw Lefty Grove and Bob Feller in their prime, but they couldn't match Brown for speed. Too bad he couldn't get his fast ball over the plate." - Umpire Beans Reardon in The Men in Blue (Larry Gerlach, 1980)
