Brown Eyes Major League Reliever Crown Bid
Clint Brown, a veteran right hander with the White Sox, may win the 1939 American League relief pitching crown. He appeared in 51 of Chicago’s 120 games this season, winning ten, a feat matched by few since his 1933 Cleveland triumphs. At 36, Brown exceeded expectations after a elbow operation, having struggled in 1938. He could break the AL single season record of 66 games, held by Bigud Walsh, who pitched as a starter. The relief role has grown since Fred Marberry’s 1921 example, with many hurlers like Johnny Murphy and Mace Brown contributing heavily in this niche.
