Gentlemen Bobby Brown was a Yankee 3rd baseman. He was born October 25, 1924) is a former professional baseball third baseman and executive, who served as president of the American League (AL) (1984–1994). He also was a physician who studied for his medical degree during his eight-year playing career with the New York Yankees (1946–1952, 1954).

Born in Seattle, Washington, Brown attended Galileo Academy of Science and Technology in San Francisco, then Stanford University and UCLA, before receiving his medical degree from Tulane University. During his time at Stanford, he and another student were involved in the rescue of a Coast Guardsman from a plane crash, for which Brown received a Silver Lifesaving Medal.

A famous apocryphal story that has made the rounds for years in baseball circles concerns the time when Brown's road roommate was star Yankee catcher Yogi Berra, who had little formal education. The two were reading in their hotel room one night — Berra a comic book and Brown his copy of Boyd's Pathology. Berra came to the end of his comic, tossed it aside, and asked Brown, "So, how is yours turning out?"

Brown is the last living member of the Yankees team that won the 1947 World Series. There are no living players who played on an earlier World Series-winning team.
