Lloyd Brown (baseball)

On January 14, 1974, Brown died in Opa-locka, Florida, at the age of 69.

Brown later continued in MiLB, pitching from 1941 through 1953 and managing for ten teams between 1947 and 1960. He spent part of 1955 as a Baltimore Orioles' coach and scouted for the Orioles (1956–57), Phillies (1957–58, 1970–71), Senators (1961–66), and Seattle Pilots (1969) organizations. Brown won 202 games during 20 minor league seasons and had a 407–544 record as a manager, in 11 seasons (1946–53, 1955–56, 1960).

Brown reached the big leagues in 1925 with the Brooklyn Robins, spending one year there, before moving to the Washington Senators (1928–32), St. Louis Browns (1933), Boston Red Sox (1933), Cleveland Indians (1934–37), and Philadelphia Phillies (1940). In between, he played or managed in the minor leagues during twelve seasons and later became a respected scout. Brown's most productive season came in 1930 for the poor-hitting Senators, when he posted career-best numbers with 16 wins, 15 complete games, and 258 innings pitched. In 1931, he won 15 games for Washington, collecting career-highs in earned run average (ERA) (3.20) and strikeouts (79), and again recorded 15 victories, in 1932.
