A standout baseball performer for coach Bill Rowe from 1965 to 1967, Ken Brown had the rare combination of speed and power that put the program on the map in its early stages. He led the squad in total bases, triples and home runs all three seasons and in at-bats, runs, slugging percentage and extra-base hits twice. He was voted the team's recipient of the A.E. "Ted" Willis MVP Award in 1967.
His .760 slugging percentage in 1966, boosted by a healthy .400 batting average, still ranks No. 8 in program history. His three triples in a single game (1966) has remained the club's record for its duration, and his three stolen bases in a single contest, also in 1966, ranks third. He racked up 10 career triples, 12 home runs and 127 total bases in just 60 games.
A 1972 graduate of MSU, Brown has been a community business leader and has continued to support various Bears programs over the years.
