Baseball scout James "Red' Brown, helped many win college scholarships
James "Red" Brown and baseball were synonymous in Northern Kentucky.
Mr. Brown, 75, of Newport, died Friday night in Lakeside Place Nursing Home, Highland Heights.
A scout for three Major League teams at various times during his life, Mr. Brown was known as a man with both a great knowledge of baseball talent and for helping youngsters and others associated with the game.
"He was a wonderful ambassador for professional baseball," said Carl Lowenstein, a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Mr. Brown scouted on a part-time basis, most recently for the St. Louis Cardinals, and before that for the San Francisco Giants and the New York Yankees. "He'd help you out. He was a valuable guy, a wonderful guy," said Lowenstein.
"When the full-time guys came to the city, he would help us out, with information on the what a kid had been doing," said Lowenstein.
Beyond those who had professional talent, Mr. Brown helped many young players obtain college baseball scholarships, Lowenstein said.
"College coaches would call him, or he'd call them. He helped many, many kids get college scholarships," Lowenstein said.
A native of Silver Grove, Mr. Brown was the proud possessor of three World Series rings, presented to him by the Major League teams he worked for.
"He liked other sports too, but baseball was his life," said Mr. Brown's wife, Virginia.
"Baseball was what he really loved," added his daughter, Jody Ann Davis of Erlanger.
Mr. Brown was a retired car man with the C & O Railroad, and was associated with Major League Baseball for some 40 years. Before that he played and coached at the amateur level, including coaching a number of Knothole Baseball teams.
An Army veteran, Mr. Brown was a member of the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame and the Newport Elks Lodge.
Other survivors include a son, James D. Brown of Wilder.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Dobbling Funeral Home, Ft. Thomas. Visitation will be from 4 to 8 Tuesday at the funeral home. Burial will be in St. Stephen Cemetery, Ft. Thomas.
