Pitcher Prisoner Passes Up Major League Chance
Patrick Browning an 18 year old prisoner in Alabama lay in a prison hospital after breaking his arm while pitching for the Draper Prison Bluebirds. A Red Sox scout planned to see him after Browning had recently posted a 9 2 record with 100 strikeouts in 94 innings and a .437 batting average as an outfielder. Browning said he threw away his chance by staying to play with the prison team instead of accepting parole to pursue a real baseball contract.
