Forum: St. Louis Browns

Discuss anything and everything about the St. Louis Browns.

  1. Sticky Thread Sticky: This Date in Browns History!

    This thread will work best with broad contribution from all of you old Browns fans. (There's that redundancy again.) The object is to fill in the calendar pages with special or peculiar moments in Browns history. (I threw in the word "peculiar" because we had so many things happen that properly...

  1. Browns' uniform question, and others

    All right, first off I'm a fan of the Cleveland Browns. I went to Bowling Green State University... whose colors are brown and orange. We Falcons were always taught that Paul Brown adopted the Bowling Green color scheme of brown and orange for his new football team (the Browns held their first...

  2. Robison Field Photos?

    I'm trying to find some photos of Robison Field, which was home to the St. Louis Cardinals from 1893 to 1920 and where the American League St. Louis Browns played from 1902-1908. Have any of you ever come across any online? If so, please post links (or if you have photos, please post those here)....

  5. Interesting story about the 1947 Browns and Vern Stephens

    The following is an excerpt from the St Louis Globe-Democrat, September 29, 1947. It is from "The Bench Warmer" column by Robert L. Burnes. One of the nicest gestures of which we have heard in a long time is being turned by the Browns, who did not have too much to be happy about...

  6. Thumbs up Anyone who collects old Browns autographs TTM

    Anyone who collects Browns autographs thru the mail might like to know Chuck Stevens and Roy Sievers are still signing. In fact Stevens answered a few questions and signature is still strong.

  7. BB Managers from the 1950s

    With the passing of Bobby Bragan this week, this raises a question: “How many managers from the 1950s are still living?”. The only two I can think of off the top of my head are the Browns’ Marty Marion and Solly Hemus who took over the Cards’ reins at Age 35 in 1959. There are probably others…...

  8. Interesting Note about Browns Nickname

    Here is another interesting tidbit about the Browns nickname from The Sporting News (upper left hand corner of page - "Moniker"). Note the drawing of the "mascot." It is reminiscent to the version that Bill Veeck used on the uniforms (sleeve patch) in 1952 and 1953.

  9. The Carl Weilman Benefit Game

    Roberto Alomar's non-election to the Hall of Fame day means the "race" between Oriole HofFers and Brownie HofFers stands at Browns 15, Orioles 12. The Browns total includes one owner and the O's total includes one manager. Off the subject a little bit. The three top vote-getters today, Andre...

  11. 1922 Browns' Reunion in 1937

    Here is an interesting article from The Sporting News about a reunion of the 1922 Browns in which they played a 3-inning exhibition game against the 1937 team. It's a team that you don't hear too much about nowadays but the 1922 near-miss pennant winners were dear to the hearts of the St Louis fan...

    Following up on a previous post on how Ty Cobb was nearly a Brown, here's another involving Lou Gehrig. Gehrig spent about half of the 1923 season with the Yankees, albeit mostly watching from the bench (he actually debuted against the Browns on June 15, entering on defense in the ninth inning...

  14. Orioles 12 cons. losing seasons ties Browns

    It is interesting to note that the Orioles have now spent as many consecutive seasons below .500 as the St. Louis Browns did (12) . Since last year’s winning percentage is the second-lowest the team has posted during the 12-year run, 13 seems a likely prospect for the O's. Having a winning...

  15. Ty Cobb, St. Louis Brown (almost)

    After the 1926 season, both Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker were involved in a gambling scandal and, long story short, both were basically kicked off their existing teams (Tigers and Indians) but allowed to sign elsewhere. They weren't true free agents, as they were property of their clubs technically,...

  16. Bob Dillinger

    Why was Bob Dillinger traded or sold from the Browns? Did the Browns get a cash offer they couldn't refuse? He led the league in steals three times and hits once batting over .300 at least twice. And why did he last only two years after he left the Browns? Lack of power, vision problems, major...

    Our sympathies and prayers go out the family and close friends of former Brown Jim Pisoni, who died yesterday. The death of Jim Pisoni on Sunday, February 4, 2007 at the age of 79 has reduced our list of living former Browns to only 59. We are now 1 under 5 dozen, but the longevity of these...

  23. 1940 Home Uniform

    Good morning, what great photos on the Browns uniforms recently. Attached are pictures of a what I believe to be a 1940 home uniform. The uniform was worn by my father-in-law who played in the minors on numerous teams in Il and Mo. At one of the stops he was given this to wear...perhaps handed...
