Kevin Brown won’t be attending Old Timers’ Day in the Bronx this weekend, but the former Yankee pitcher managed to grab baseball fans’ attention on Wednesday.
Brown, who played 19 seasons in the majors and retired from the game in 2005, helped police arrest two alleged mailbox thieves in his home neighborhood of Macon, Ga. on Wednesday, according to the Miami Herald.
After reports of stolen mail in the area, Brown reportedly hid in a nearby yard with the intention of catching the thieves red-handed. Brown succeeded, and officers arrived on the scene to find Brown holding a man and 15-year-old teenager at gunpoint outside of his home, per the report.
