Kevin Brown, champion red-ass

Stay connected for news and updates

Not long after the Dodgers traded Mike Piazza to the Marlins (who immediately traded him to the Mets), they (the Dodgers) signed Kevin Brown for a huge amount of money. During his career, Brown had a ... reputation. From Mike Piazza's new book, Long Shot:

To appease Kevin Brown, they even fixed the showers at Dodgertown. We all understood those showers. When the water pressure dropped, they'd get intensely hot; so the players simply stepped aside for a moment or two. The first time it happened to Brown -- I don't know, maybe it was the second -- he grabbed a bat and beat the shit out of the showerhead. After all those years, the team brought in plumbers to fix the water pressure problem.

I wish I could say I wish I'd been a fly on the wall, but it was the wall of a shower room so I can't say that. Still, if anyone's got a video clip please send it along.
