Gifts That Matter
Mordecai Peter Centennial Brown, also known by for his unusual nickname of “Three Finger,” was the ace right-hander of the great Chicago Cub baseball teams of the early twentieth century. Although he threw with a damaged right hand from a childhood accident, Mordecai Brown overcame his physical difficulty, to become one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Mordecai’s Excellence over Adversity mindset gave him the ability to move past life’s challenges and achieve a way forward.
By sharing the overcoming faith and spirit by which Mordecai Brown lived, the Mordecai Brown Legacy Foundation champions character focused sporting experiences, promoting individual achievement and team cooperation. We recognize that by creating such opportunities, we are ensuring an influence in the development of superior players and steadfast citizens for the future.
The mission and purpose of the Mordecai Brown Legacy Foundation is to perpetuate the ideals and life values of Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown. We do this by seeking to meet service needs within baseball and sporting activities by finding long-term solutions for preserving baseball and sports history, celebrating the game, and sharing the dreams of personal accomplishments.
Baseball is a community and a culture, on the amateur level as well as the professional. The game is where people can build bonds of friendship while striving for individual and team goals. On the field many will develop life values. The Mordecai Brown Legacy Foundation (MBLF) seeks to incorporate Brown’s message into a support network for players, fans, and communities.
The MBLF is a member of Globe International Ministries, Inc. which was formally incorporated in 1973 and has been a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) since 1986. The ECFA was started by the Rev. Billy Graham to uphold standards of excellence and integrity for Christian non-profit organizations.
