	After a steady climb through the Giants minor league system, Brown made his major league debut for them in 1984 as a September call-up. In his first full season in 1985, Brown [[batting average (baseball)\|batted]] .261 with 16 [[home run]]s and 61 [[runs batted in]] (RBIs) for the last-place [[1985 San Francisco Giants season\|Giants]], made the All-Rookie team, and finished fourth in the [[National League]] [[MLB Rookie of the Year Award\|Rookie of the Year]] voting; Brown also led the NL in times being [[hit by pitch]] (11). In 1986, Brown batted .317 and made the NL [[1986 Major League Baseball All-Star Game\|All-Star]] team after hitting nearly .350 in the season's first half. The same season, he was involved in an infamous brawl.		After a steady climb through the Giants minor league system, Brown made his major league debut for them in 1984 as a September call-up.

	At the end of 1986, he complained of shoulder soreness. That offseason, an examination by Dr. [[Frank Jobe]] in Los Angeles discovered that there was indeed a serious problem, and surgery was performed that winter. The following season, with Brown hitting a paltry .242 after 38 games, the [[1987 San Francisco Giants season\|Giants]] sent him packing on July 5 along with [[Keith Comstock]], [[Mark Davis (pitcher)\|Mark Davis]], and [[Mark Grant (baseball)\|Mark Grant]] in a midseason trade to the [[1987 San Diego Padres season\|San Diego Padres]] in exchange for [[Kevin Mitchell (baseball)\|Kevin Mitchell]], [[Dave Dravecky]], and [[Craig Lefferts]].
