Ken Brett was born on Saturday, September 18, 1948, in Brooklyn, New York. Brett was 19 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 27, 1967, with the Boston Red Sox. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Ken Brett baseball stats page.
"Well, he was left-handed, he could throw strikes and he had a bat. Plus, nothing ever fazed him. We had no hesitation about putting him on the World Series roster, none at all He had the guts of a burglar. He was a cocky kid, but he could back it up and he was quite a hitter. I'm convinced that if he'd come to the major leagues as something besides a pitcher, he could've made it as a hitter." - Red Sox Manager Dick Williams
