Larry Leslie Brown is the brother of Dick Brown and a former Major League Baseball infielder who played from 1963 to 1974 for the Cleveland Indians, Oakland Athletics, Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers. A right-hander, he was 5'11" and he weighed 165 pounds. He was originally signed by the Indians in 1958, and on July 6, 1963, against the New York Yankees, he made his big league debut at the age of 23. Pinch-hitting for Tito Francona, he struck out in his first at-bat, but he collected a single in his second plate appearance. As a starter for Cleveland between 1964 and 1969, his batting averages were consistently low ? his highest batting average during that span was .253, while his lowest was .227. On May 4, 1966, Brown was seriously injured after running into Indian's teammate Leon Wagner while playing the New York Yankees in Yankee Stadium. Brown suffered a skull fracture and facial injuries and was admitted to the Lenox Hill Hospital. In 1970, he lost his starting job to a young Jack Heidemann, and by April 24, 1971, he was with a new team ? the Athletics. He'd end up hitting below .200 during his time with the Athletics, and in 1973 he was signed by the Orioles.
