Wondering what Kevin Brown is up to these days?

The former MLB pitcher became a local vigilante in Georgia, where he stopped two mail thieves possibly responsible for several reports of stolen mail Wednesday afternoon in a Macon neighborhood. 

According to the Miami Herald, Brown hid in a neighbor's yard waiting for the culprits, before he then caught the thieves and held them at gunpoint until police arrived. The mailbox at the scene was "ajar" as Brown, 53, then explained the situation to authorities, per the Herald. 

The two suspects were an adult and a 15-year-old.

Brown spent the last two seasons of his career with the Yankees, posting a 14-13 record along with a 4.95 ERA in 35 starts.

Brown was a six-time MLB All-Star, won 211 career games and posted a 3.28 ERA over 19 seasons. He pitched for the Rangers, Orioles, Marlins, Padres, Dodgers and then Yankees. 

He won a World Series title as a member of the Marlins staff in 1997.
