Lorn Brown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lorn Brown is a sports broadcaster who worked for baseball's Chicago White Sox (1976-1979, 1983, 1985-1988), Milwaukee Brewers (1980-1981), and New York Mets (1982), among other jobs. Jimmy Piersall, who worked with Brown from 1977-1979, said this of him:
“Lorn Brown had a good voice but he was very insecure. Simply put he was an ass kisser. He actually used to drive Bill Veeck home at night, would bring him books to read and things like that. Can you believe that? He didn’t care much for me.”[1]
Brown's career included working alongside such baseball broadcasters as Harry Caray, Bob Uecker, and Bob Murphy, each a recipient of the prestigious Ford C. Frick Award, the highest honor in the field. He would go on to be replaced in the Mets booth by a relative neophyte, Tim McCarver.
Brown has also turned his voice toward work in the commercial voice-over field, narrating commercials for Budweiser beer, Ace Hardware, and the National Football League, among others. He is represented by Grossman & Jack Talent, Inc.
