Dr. Bobby Brown, R.I.P.

Bobby Brown, former New York Yankees third baseman turned cardiologist & President of the American League, passed away yesterday. No cause of death was released. He was 96.

A veteran of both WWII and the Korean War, Brown spent his entire 8-year big league career with the New York Yankees where he earned five World Series rings. In 548 big league games, Brown had a lifetime batting average of .279. 

Brown would spend two decades as a cardiologist in Texas before joining the Texas Rangers' organization as its interim President in 1974 and was a member of its Board of Directors until 1980. From 1984 to 1994, Brown served as President of the American League.

I leave you with a rare radio interview Brown conducted while he was AL President in 1993. R.I.P.
