Brown led the Michigan team
in both runs-batted-in and home
runs. Four of his 10 home runs
came against Big Ten pitching.
Brown was signed to a Denver
contract, but was assigned to Dur-
ham where he will get to play more
regularly. The Class B club si
coached by former Tiger pitcher
Stubby Overmire.
Roman also signed a Denver
contract, but likewise was assigned
to' another club, Birmingham of
the Southern Association.
Lund said that he has heard re-
ports that Roman is doing well
in professional debut. Roman, who
is a native Detroiter, banged out
four hits in his first eleven trips
to the plate and seemed to be
making the big jump from college
to double A professional baseball
in fine style.
Roman and Brown join a long
line of Michigan baseball players
who have taken a crack at the
big time as members of the Tiger
organization. Coach Lund signed
with the Tigers in the late 40's
after earning three letters in base-
ball at Michigan.
A more recent Wolverine mem-
ber of the Tiger organization is
Steve Boros, who signed with the
Tigers in the spring of 1957. At the
present time he is playing third
base for Denver of the American
Association and batting .289.
