Lest we forget: Tom Browning

December 20, 2022

The only pitcher in Reds history to throw a perfect game passed away unexpectedly yesterday at the age of 62.

Browning spent 12 years in the majors, all but one with the Reds before his finale with the Kansas City Royals. He finished with a record of 123-90 and led the NL in starts for four seasons.

Here’s the emotional “breaking news” story from WLWT-TV in Cincinnati. And this piece by Bob Nightengale in the Cincinnati Enquirer and Hal McCoy in the Dayton Daily News.

In 2006, the lefty published Tom Browning’s Tales from the Reds Dugout.
