Brown, as a sportswriter, is in the Baseball Hall of Fame, as an awardee of the 1972 Baseball Writers Association of America BBWAA Career Excellence Award (formerly the Spinks Award). He is properly credited with having called Red Grange "The Galloping Ghost", and Babe Ruth as "The Sultan of Swat". He wrote both of the books on the Chicago major league teams that appeared in Putnam's famed The Big League Library, "wholesome sports reading for baseball fans young and old."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
