Boston Red Sox 1967-71: The fourth pick in the 1966 draft,
Brett took the fast track to the big leagues, debuting with the Red Sox on September 27, 1967. The next month, at 19 years
1 month old, he made history, becoming the youngest pitcher to appear in a World Series game.
The left-hander spent parts of the next three seasons in Boston, compiling
a 10-15 record as a starter and reliever. One of the better hitting pitchers of his day, Brett hit .317 with 2 HR in 41 at
bats in 1970. On October 11, 1971, he was dealt to Milwaukee with Billy Coniglairo, Joe Lahoud, Jim Lonborg, Don Pavletich,
and George Scott for Marty Pattin, Lew Krausse, Tommy Harper, and Pat Skrable.
******************************
Milwaukee Brewers 1972: Brett spent one season with the Brew Crew, posting a 7-12 record and 4.53 ERA.
He was traded to Philadelphia on October 31 with Lonborg, Ken Sanders, and Earl Stephenson for Don Money, John Vuckovich,
and Bill Champion.
******************************
Philadelphia Phillies 1973: Brett's one season in Philly was an eventful one. The southpaw set a major
league record by homering in four straight starts and gave up Hank Aaron's 700th home run in June. He also won a career high
13 games. He was traded again however, this time to Pittsburgh for Dave Cash on October 18.

Pittsburgh Pirates 1974-75: The veteran made his lone All Star appearance in 1974, and was the game's
winning pitcher. He posted a 13-9 record and career best 3.30 ERA with .310 average, 2 HR, and 15 RBI in 87 at bats that season.
After a 9-5 season in 1975, Brett was dealt to the Yankees on December 11 with Dock Ellis and Willie Randolph for Doc Medich.

New York Yankees 1976: Brett's stay in the Big Apple was brief. He was traded to the White Sox on May
