[2] On September 23, 1998, the Cubs were in a tie with the New York Mets for the National League wild card with three games remaining.

Milwaukee loaded the bases with two outs for Geoff Jenkins, who hit a long fly ball to Brown that should have ended the game.

Brown, though, dropped the ball, which then got past him, allowing three runs to score and giving the Brewers an 8–7 win.

[6] On June 9, 2000, Brown was involved in a three-team trade, in which he was sent to the Cubs, while Dave Martinez went to the Texas Rangers and the Marlins received Chuck Smith.

[11] After he retired as a player, Brown became a minor league hitting coach in the Rangers' organization.

After the 2012 season, the Seattle Mariners hired Brown as their minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator.

[17] On December 7, 2023 Brown was hired to be the offensive coordinator (new role) and bench coach for the Seattle Mariners.
