The 93rd of those to appear with the Florida Marlins was pitcher Kevin Brown, who is turning 55-years-old today. Born in McIntyre, GA, the six-foot-four, 200 lb. right-hander was initially a first-round draft choice in 1986, fourth overall off the board by the Texas Rangers. Just three months later, he made his major league debut, earning a 9-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics. He struck out four in five innings, surrendering two runs on six hits and zero walks.
Brown returned to the minors for the 1987 campaign, but worked his way quickly up the Rangers minor-league system to join the team for good in 1988.
