George Browne (baseball)

George Edward Browne (January 12, 1876 – December 9, 1920) was an American professional baseball right fielder.

[2] Moonlight Graham, whose one-inning major-league career became famous through the movie Field of Dreams, replaced Browne in his lone appearance for the 1905 Giants.

Browne's "World's Champions" jersey, which the Giants wore during the 1906 season, was exhibited at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Newspaper accounts highlighted the differences in financial capacity between the former star Mathewson and the lesser-known Browne.

[5] On December 9, 1920,[6] Browne died of tuberculosis at his home in Hyde Park, New York, at the age of 44.
