Mordecai Brown
Legacy Foundation
Through baseball-related athletic, educational, and service initiatives, the Mordecai Brown Legacy Foundation seeks to inspire players, individuals, and communities to see past their limitations and achieve lasting success. Mordecai’s own story of overcoming adversity serves as an example of dreaming boldly, believing infinitely, and succeeding without limits.
The Dream – Believe – Succeed life message of Mordecai Brown teaches self-reliance and team unity. It also guides the organization named for Brown toward promoting positive life lessons within the game of baseball and other sporting activities.
Mordecai once said, “Baseball teaches a cooperative effort, the necessity of a player to become part of the whole of the machinery, doing the work planned for him not for personal glory, but for the good of the team as a whole. It teaches to do a particular work as well as the individual can and spurs them to help the team to victory with no reward saving the consciousness of having helped.”
