Brown Accused of Pulling Gun on Neighbor

Ex-All-Star Pitcher in Dispute Over Yard Debris

MACON, Ga. (Aug. 18) - A neighbor accused retired All-Star pitcher Kevin Brown of pulling a pistol during a dispute over yard debris, officials said.

 

Michael Haws, whose property backs up to Brown's multimillion-dollar estate, called Bibb County sheriff's deputies Monday after an argument. He said it began when he found Brown throwing grass clippings over the fence into Haws' yard.

 

Haws told deputies that Brown pulled a gun and warned him against coming onto Brown's property, but did not point the gun at him.

 

Brown, baseball's first "million-dollar man," told deputies that he carries a gun while strolling through the woods because he often sees snakes. He did not return a telephone message Thursday from The Associated Press.

 

Brown, who once broke his left hand punching the wall outside Yankees manager Joe Torre 's office, told investigators that it was Haws who threw yard debris onto his property. He said he found clippings on his side of the fence and tossed a couple of fistfuls back into Haws' yard, the deputies' report stated.

 

Neither wanted to press charges, the report stated. Deputies said Brown resolved to "put up a taller fence" and Haws said he planned to buy a mulching mower.

 

Brown, 41, a middle Georgia native who pitched for Georgia Tech, was drafted fourth overall by the Texas Rangers in 1986. He also played for the Baltimore Orioles , Florida Marlins and San Diego Padres before signing a seven-year, $105 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers after the 1998 season.

 

The right-hander went to the Yankees in a December 2003 trade and went 10-6 with a 4.09 ERA the following season but experienced health problems. Toward the end of the season, he broke his hand outside Torre's office. Brown did pitch in the post-season, lasting less than two innings against the Red Sox in Game 7 of the 2004 AL Championship Series.

 

He missed several games in 2005 due to injury and finished 4-7 with a 6.50 ERA. Brown announced his retirement in February after a 19-year major league career with a record of 211-144.

He had to get into the news somehow since nobody cared when he announced his retirement earlier this year

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS MOTHER****IN' GRASS ON THIS MOTHER****IN' LAWN!!!!!!

That's our Brownie! The stories about Kevin Brown and his attitude have always been around and I remember how the members of the media covering the Marlins in '97 would always complain about him. I met a lot of the players from that team but never had a chance to meet Kevin Brown and I always wondered whether he behaved that same way towards the fans or whether it was just the press. Al Leiter was just the nicest, most likeable guy and it seemed odd that the two of them got along so well with such different personalities.

 

Attitude or not, I used to love to watch him pitch!
