    I grew up in San Diego during the 90's as a die hard Padres fan. My favorite season ever is still the 1998 season in which the Padres went to the World Series, and one of the biggest reasons (aside from the WS appearance) was being able to watch Brown pitch every 5th day. It was a joy to watch him pitch, from his unique delivery to his pure dominance to his take-no-prisoners attitude. I feel so lucky to have been able to watch him pitch.

He also came 1 hit batter away from a perfect game. I loved the 98 padres and always loved the dodgers (after my marlins)...so I was a fan of his for a lonnngggggg time.

What made Pedro special in the 1990's was that he dominated the heart of the steroid era while pitching in the AL East with a DH and all those hitter friendly parks, and also how he dominated in 1997 with Expos over Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, and Schilling.

    He was completely untouchable in his Padres year. I also think he changed the game in that a ton of guys started adding sinkers and two-seamers after him...and Maddux, but mostly him. Maddux was known for painting corners, not throwing a heavy sinker (he did), but Brown was notorious for being able to induce grounders whenever he wanted.

    I think after watching this video, a strong modern comparison to Kevin Brown is Jake Arrieta. The only difference is that Arrieta did win a Cy Young (and to our knowledge has not taken/been accused of taking illegal substances), but the similarities are uncanny: --6'4" RHP --Sinker baller --Funky motion that hides the ball well --Had periods of struggle and dominance --Pitched for 3+ teams, including in both leagues --Won a WS --All-Star --1x 20 game winner --1x sub-2.00 ERA season --Thrown a no-hitter (Arrieta 2, Brown 1) --Big AAV contracts for their time --Bit of a temper And I'm sure the deeper analytics would find even more parallels. Awesome video by the way!

    One of my favorite windups all time. As cool as Lincecum's but without utilitarian reasons. It looks like he developed that twist as his career went along. It's weird that this is the only noteworthy player named Brown in baseball history. It's the 5th or so most common name. There have only been MLB 8 players with that name according to baseball-reference. So the GOAT Brown is most definitely Kevin. I always liked him and thought he got kinda shafted in the awards category. He supposedly was a hard ass, but I tend to like whoever the media doesn't. Ornery pitchers are one of the things I really like about baseball. On a side note, I completely forgot that that stacked Astros team of 1998 rented Randy Johnson for a half year, gunning for a WS. He only went 10-1 with a 322 ERA+. That team was a big disappointment, never getting very far despite being exceptionally talented.

    Unfortunately for Brown, he not only wasn’t well liked but pitched in small markets for his entire career and then with the Dodgers he was more known for his contract and his temper than for his pitching (the PED stuff didn’t come out until later). Then as a washed up 39 year old he steps into one of the biggest sports spotlights we’ve ever seen, the 2003-04 era Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, and thus the majority of people only remember Kevin Brown for the disasters awaiting for him in New York. Brown’s 7-0 start to the 04 season was effectively the last good stretch of pitching he ever put together, after that, in order, this was the rest of his career, and unfortunately for him what most people remember him for: Brown went on the DL in June 2004 with a bad back (it was actually shot but he didn’t want to admit it) and an intestinal parasite, missing most of the summer. then about a month after returning from the DL, as the Yankees were in a huge slump and the Red Sox were hot, Brown was getting knocked around by the Orioles when he huffed his way off the mound into the Camden Yards clubhouse after the 3rd inning and broke his non-pitching hand punching a concrete column. Joe Torre said to his face that it was “the most selfish fucking thing I’ve ever seen in baseball”, and the Yankees did not cover it up, which led to Brown becoming public enemy #1 in the New York sports media and an object of national ridicule. To be fair, the guy “punched a wall” (as it’s usually told) in September while the Yankees were hemorrhaging their AL East lead to the Red Sox, who were red hot since the trade deadline, and he had also done it in the middle of a start with no reliever warming, it was a terrible look for Brown. Then it only got worse: his first start back was against those Red Sox at Fenway (the Yankees avoided pitching him at Yankee Stadium the rest of the regular season so he wouldn’t get booed), where he couldn’t get out of the first inning, the Red Sox scoring 7 runs while Brown only got 2 outs before Torre yanked him. The Yankees did hang on to win the division, and their pitching was so thin that Brown was not only in the postseason starting rotation, but he was the #3 guy. He pitched his last quality game in the big leagues against the Twins in the division series, getting the road start and the win. But the Yankees then had to face those Red Sox again, and Brown was again slated for a road start (the Yankees still wanted to avoid using him at home, not only due to the fear of him getting booed, but also because Brown was a career 0-5 in playoff home games), against Bronson Arroyo. The Yankees took a 2 games to 0 lead in their ALCS home games, and then in game 3 at Fenway the Yankees took a 2-0 lead before Brown even toed the rubber. But Brown again got beat up, as the Red Sox ran into an out to squander the 1st inning and then scored 4 in the 2nd to knock Brown from the game with the Yankees now trailing 4-2. Although the Yankees would win 19-8 it was no thanks to Brown whose last two starts against the Red Sox were stuff on nightmares. But I don’t think it could fully prepare Brown for the nightmare that was game 7. He can’t have expected to even pitch again in the series, as who could have imagined the Yankees would lose 3 games in a row to set it up. But after two extra innings losses in games 4 and 5 and then the bloody sock, controversial home run, a-rod swat play, and a non-double play that brought out the riot police, which all occurred in game 6, the Yankees not only felt the momentum crushing against them, but they also didn’t trust Brown. The Yankees bullpen catcher later said players were saying to each other “We’re fucked” before the game because they knew he had nothing. Torre apparently tried to start anyone else but didn’t trust Loiza after game 5 and El Duque told him he was unavailable to pitch. So they had nobody but Brown. He surprisingly didn’t get booed in his first home start since the “wall punch” incident, but it later turned out there were about 50% Red Sox fans there in the Bronx. The Yankees fans present were too nervous and angry to boo, except for booing the umpires that they felt had cost them game 6. It didn’t help Brown. After giving up two singles in the 1st, he got a huge break when Johnny Damon ran into an out at the plate (same exact thing that happened in game 3, conceivably if neither of those outs happen on the bases Brown could have been knocked out of the 1st inning in 3 straight starts against the Red Sox, going back to that game after the wall punch). After Brown got a groundout to both end the 1st and then start the 2nd inning, Brown failed to record another out in the game, giving up a single and then losing back to back hitters to walks after going ahead 0-2. Torre then pulled him and he left game 7 to a smattering of booing with 1 out in the 2nd, down 2-0 and the based loaded. Torre then went against his own word and put in Javy Vazquez instead of a relief pitcher, but to be fair Brown left the Yankees in a near-impossible jam. Vazquez gave up a grand slam on the first pitch he threw and that was pretty much good night, as the Yankees completed the choke of the century and surrendered the 86-year “curse of the Bambino” over the Red Sox. Brown’s numbers against the Red Sox in September/October 2004: 3 starts, 4 IP, 16 ER Brown only made a handful of further big league starts in early 2005 before abruptly retiring during the middle of a game, in somewhat similar fashion to the wall incident. So yea everything I just wrote is the story most people know about Kevin Brown, while sadly most of the stuff in this video is largely forgotten, but it’s just tough to overcome such epic negativity under the brightest of spotlights.

    Poor Yankees management on trades, getting old players way passed their peaks, like Randy Johnson and Brown. Was it for pride and marketing? Just to say "they were Yankees"

    Brown was robbed of the Cy Young. If he and Smoltz had those same seasons in 2019, Brown still would not of won it but would probably have placed higher than Smoltz. I also think one of the reasons he is a forgotten ace is how it ended: lit up in two starts by the BoSox in 04 ALCS and his worst year statistically in 05. Despite the Mitchell Report and his temper, I hear Brown is a really good dude. I hope retirement is treating him well.
