One of my favorite players of all-time. RIP Tom Browning.

July 7, 1993 - Browning epically sneaked out of Wrigley Field when he wasn't playing...and joined fans on the rooftop across the street while in full uniform. Manager Davey Johnson fined him $500. pic.twitter.com/outaZugZz1

Farewell, Tom Browning. Man.

Brown spent 12 seasons in Major League Baseball between the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals and finished with a career record of 123-90.

He won a title with the Reds in 1990 and was an All- Star in 1991. He finished as the runner-up for the NL rookies of the year in 1985 and was sixth in the Cy Young voting that year after going 20-9.

In 1988 he threw the 12th perfect game in MLB history against the Dodgers. The team that would go on to win the World Series that year was defeated by seven strikeouts by him. It is the only perfect game in Reds' history.

He was called Mr. Perfect after that performance.

He said he was perfect for an hour and 52 minutes. I was immature and imperfect most of the time.

A part of Cincinnati's past.
