[edit] Biographical Information
Jophery Brown pitched in one major league game in his career. He pitched it on September 21, 1968 against the Pittsburgh Pirates as a member of the Chicago Cubs. He relieved Bobby Tiefenauer in the bottom of the 5th inning with the Cubs down, 4-0. He gave up a single to Maury Wills and Freddie Patek bunted Wills over. Matty Alou flied out to left and Brown then intentionally walked Roberto Clemente. Donn Clendenon singled to score Wills but Gene Alley grounded out to end the inning. Brown came back out in the 6th and retired the side in order. Final line: 2 innings pitched, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 1 walk, no strikeouts.
Brown went on to a long career in Hollywood as a bit-part actor and stuntman.
