No cause was given.<\/p>\n<p>Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies responded to Browning\u2019s home about 1 p.m. after receiving a report of a man found not breathing. They discovered him unresponsive on a couch, and efforts by deputies and EMS personnel to resuscitate him were unsuccessful. Browning was pronounced dead at 1:13 p.m. Foul play is not suspected, the Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n<p>The Reds issued a statement after being in contact with a member of his family, team spokesman Rob Butcher said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe entire Reds family is stunned and deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Tom Browning. Affectionately referred to as \u201cMr. Perfect,\u201d Tom was a true Red who after his playing days made the Cincinnati area his home and remained heavily involved with the organization,\u201d the club said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA fan favorite, the Reds Hall of Famer touched fans\u2019 hearts at team events, Reds Hall of Fame festivities and Reds Community Fund activities. We join Reds Country in mourning the loss of one of our all-time greats, who created so many memories and magical moments for us all. Our deepest condolences to Tom\u2019s family during this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Known as a colorful character, Browning once bolted from the Wrigley Field bullpen and sat in full Cincinnati uniform with Chicago fans atop a rooftop across the street during a Reds-Cubs game in July 1993. He was fined $500 for that stunt, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.<\/p>\n<p>The left-hander&#8217;s biggest individual moment on the mound, however, came when he retired all 27 batters he faced in a 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium on Sept. 16, 1988.<\/p>\n<p>Following a two-hour rain delay, the game started at 10:02 p.m. and took only 1 hour, 51 minutes. It came a little more than three months after Browning lost a no-hit bid in San Diego in the ninth inning on a one-out single by Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn.<\/p>\n<p>Browning&#8217;s gem against the Dodgers was one of just 23 perfect games in major league history and the only one for the Reds, baseball&#8217;s oldest professional franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Just more than a month later, the Dodgers won the World Series \u2014 making Browning the lone pitcher to toss a perfecto against the team that won the championship that same year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRIP my friend Mr. Perfect Tom Browning,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarryLarkin\/status\/1604948584398409728?s=20&amp;t=0ubBRqfDksEHL-8TMJkvBA\" data-ylk=\"slk:tweeted Hall of Fame shortstop and former Reds teammate Barry Larkin.\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">tweeted Hall of Fame shortstop and former Reds teammate Barry Larkin.<\/a> &#8220;We shared some great times as well as the same birthdate 4\/28. You will be missed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Browning was 18-5 with a 3.41 ERA in 1988 and made the National League All-Star team in 1991. He went 20-9 with a 3.55 ERA in 1985, finishing second to St. Louis Cardinals speedster Vince Coleman for NL Rookie of the Year and sixth in NL Cy Young Award voting.<\/p>\n<p>Six times Browning won at least 14 games. He led the NL in starts on four occasions, had six years with more than 225 innings pitched and gave up the most home runs in the league three times.<\/p>\n<p>Browning went 15-9 with a 3.80 ERA in 1990 to help the Reds win their most recent pennant and World Series crown. He was 2-1 with a 3.71 ERA in three starts that postseason, beating the powerhouse Oakland Athletics 8-3 on the road in Game 3 of the World Series to help the Reds pull off a stunning four-game sweep.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was just a wonderful person. He was as beloved a Cincinnati Red as there\u2019s been in the city,\u201d said Butcher, the Reds\u2019 longtime vice president of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> relations. \u201cEverybody who\u2019d ever met him just loved the guy. He was fun. I guess that\u2019s the word \u2014 he was fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Browning spent 11 seasons with Cincinnati from 1984-94. He broke a bone in his arm during a game in 1994 and finished his career by pitching in two games for the Kansas City Royals in 1995.<\/p>\n<p>In 12 big league seasons, he was 123-90 with a 3.94 ERA in 302 games (300 starts).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would go on our winter caravan with him and he was just \u2014 we\u2019d be on the bus for hours and the stories he would tell were just spectacularly funny,\u201d Butcher said. \u201cYou could tell his teammates loved him. I mean, when he was around our other Hall of Famers and around his old teammates, you could just tell they just adored the guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>AP MLB: https:\/\/ap<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.com\/hub\/MLB and https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP_Sports<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
