A few months after the film came out, Brown was on a camping trip at Lake Isabella in Florida and doing some shopping. As he walked around the store, a stranger recognized him and started talking to Brown about his role as the father of the main character. But after seeing the movie, he reached out to his father and repaired their relationship.

The encounter ended with a huge hug right there in the middle of the shop. It was the first of many similar encounters Brown has experienced over the last three decades. Brown had become one of the biggest stars in the movie. People started reaching out to Brown to talk about the relationship they had with their father or their son. Brown had just a few minutes of screen time in the famous flick about an Iowa farmer who plows over his corn and builds a baseball field for eight members of the infamous Chicago White Sox to play on.

Brown made the most of his role. What he thought might be a few minutes of fame has turned into a lifetime of inspiring others.

Brown read W. Kinsella's book "Shoeless Joe" in college. John Kinsella was among the ghost players on the field at the end of the movie. His appearance surprised his son Ray, and the two repaired their relationship by "having a catch" on the field as the camera panned away from the field for the closing credits.
