Tom Browning, former pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds, died Monday, at the age of 62.
Browning, known throughout the MLB as “Mr. Perfect,” pitched the only perfect game in Cincinnati Reds history.
On Monday, authorities in Boone County, Kentucky were called to Browning’s house after “receiving a report of a man who was found not breathing.”
Resuscitation efforts were made but unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead in the early afternoon. No foul play is suspected.
Browning pitched for 12 seasons, including 11 with the Reds and helped the team win a World Series title in 1990.
He was the runner-up for the National League Rookie of the Year in 1985 and was in the running for the CY Young award after posting a 20-9 record and a 3.55 ERA in his first full season in the league.
