CareerBrian developed his skills while playing in Pacific Coast League out in California.  Originally known as “Fleet” for his incredible speed, the term now appears to more accurately describe his resemblance in size to a fleet of ships.  Brian has spent the last three years traveling from California to Connecticut with stops in the Midwest playing on a number of local teams under various names including “Pills” for his resemblance to the Pillsbury Doughboy, Trench and Chak-Sa from the Cherokee for “Silent Storm” which accurately describes his ferocious swings that are so rarely followed by the sound of the ball actually hitting the bat.
