Tom Browning will forever be known as “Mr. Perfect” to Cincinnati Reds fans.
Sadly, the former World Series champion has died.
He was only 62 years old.
He’s Gone
Authorities were called to Browning’s home in Kentucky to respond to a man who was not breathing.
When they arrived, it was Browning on the sofa, completely unresponsive.
The Boone County Sheriff’s Office stated, “Deputies, along with E.M.S. personnel, attempted life-saving measures.
“However, resuscitation efforts were not successful. Mr. Browning was pronounced deceased at approximately 1:13 p.m.”

The Reds stated, “The entire Reds family is stunned and deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Tom Browning.
“Affectionately referred to as ‘Mr. Perfect,’ Tom was a true Red who after his playing made the Cincinnati area his home and remained heavily involved within the organization.
“A fan favorite, the Reds Hall of Famer touched fans’ hearts at team events, Reds Hall of Fame festivities and Reds Community Fun 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’s family during this difficult time.”
Rest in peace.
