Before his softball career would reach its zenith in the Senior Program, Bill Brown had previously distinguished himself in Industrial ball and with Men’s B and C teams.  He led his CWA 4400 team to a National Telephone Company Championship in 1982, drove in the winning run to lift F & C  Athletic to the ASA Major Metro title in 1986, and captured a Kentucky State Championship with Nix Construction in 1989 and Rick’s AC in 2001.  But Bill’s career catapulted to an unprecedented level when he turned 50 and began competing as a senior.  From 2003 to 2008, he won 17 National titles and was named to 17 All-American or All-World teams with clubs like Riverside Paving, Direct Hire and Travelodge.  He won MVP honors with Direct Hire in the 2004 SPA Major 50-Over Nationals, was Offensive MVP in the 2005 USSSA Major 50-Over World with Travelodge, and in 2004 batted .929 (38-42) to lead Direct Hire to a runner-up finish in the USSSA Major 50-Over World.  Overall, Bill has won 7 State and 17 World and National crowns, and was named to 4 All-State, and 19 All-World or All-American teams.  A versatile defensive player comfortable at any infield or outfield position, Bill is primarily a 3^rd baseman.  He carried a .690 batting average during his 40-year career.  His matchless softball bloodline includes his father, the legendary “Whitey” Brown, an ASA All-American and first team Greater Cincinnati All-Century 2^nd baseman, and his son Jason, a first team Greater Cincinnati All-Decade 2^nd baseman and winner of three Metro Championships.
