When they arrive at Browns house, they encounter his wife who becomes furious with the friend and proceeds to physically assault him, believing he is responsible for her husbands severe intoxication.How Brown Saw the Baseball Game was produced by Lubin Manufacturing Company, a company founded by GermanAmerican film pioneer Siegmund Lubin.
