Career
Brisbee grew up in Burlingame, California and started his writing career at Southern Oregon University, where he wrote for the Siskiyou, the university's newspaper.
Brisbee began writing about the San Francisco Giants in the alt.sports.baseball.sf-giants Usenet group in the late 1990s. He started his first Giants blog, "Waiting for Boof", in January 2003. He launched McCovey Chronicles in January 2005 as the second blog under the SB Nation umbrella, which now maintains over 300 sports-related blogs. Brisbee started writing nationally for SB Nation in 2011.
Brisbee has been featured multiple times on The Jonah Keri Podcast and as a Giants correspondent for MLB Now on MLB Network. He is an occasional guest on KNBR radio. In 2015, Brisbee was awarded the SABR Analytics Conference Research Award in the "Contemporary Baseball Commentary" category for his article "Rumors, rumors, every where, nor any drop to drink" about his experience at the 2014 Baseball Winter Meetings. On June 26, 2017, Brisbee began co-hosting Giants Outsiders on NBC Sports Bay Area, a live 30-minute Giants post game show.
In 2012, Brisbee correctly predicted a four-game sweep by the San Francisco Giants in the 2012 World Series, in contrast to the other writers polled by SB Nation, who all predicted a Detroit Tigers victory.
