The tale of a shooting star is what we can call the Kevin Brown stint in a Marlins uniform. Circa 1996, the Marlins signed the team’s first impact free agent and he delivered as the ace of a World Series Champion. Kevin Brown was virtually unhittable during a time where pitch counts and innings pitched were not up for debate and scrutiny, more than earning him a place amongst the all-time Top 20 Marlins.
And if you want a still active in South Florida baseball source to back this up, just ask University of Miami head baseball coach Jim Morris, who coached Brown at Georgia Tech.
