Brian retired from baseball in 1999 after a 10-year career in which he batted .261 with stops in Kansas City, Chicago and New York.

He also tied for sixth in the National League in stolen bases and set career highs in home runs, steals and runs scored. In 1998, Brian had his best year in the National League, slugging 21 home runs, driving in 79 RBIs with a .264 average. He is the son of former Major Leaguer Hal McRae.
