ONU’s History Program Collaborates with The Village of Alger to Honor Hall of Fame Player Raymond ‘Ray’ Brown in Memorial Project
The History Program at Ohio Northern University has teamed up with the Village of Alger to memorialize Raymond “Ray” Brown.
Raymond “Ray” Brown was born on Feb. 23, 1908 in Alger, Ohio.
Ray Brown dominated the mound during his 18 years in the Negro Leagues. During his 14 seasons pitching for the Homestead Grays, Brown led the team to eight pennants.
Raymond Brown passed away on Feb. 8, 1965. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2006.
A fundraiser is being held to pay for an Ohio Historical Marker at the baseball field in Alger. This is the first step in renaming Alger Village Park to the Ray Brown Memorial Ball Field.
