DAVID BROWN

The pitching ace of the Chicago American Giants during the early 1920s, Brown had numerous effective pitches and the ability to win with either power or control.

Brown was quiet and popular with his teammates in spite of consistently finding himself on the wrong side of the law.

In 1925 he killed a man in a barroom fight and dropped out of sight to avoid conviction, cutting short a career that had tremendous promise.
