Raymond Brown was the third member of the Grays HOF trio, pitching for the ball club from 1932-48. Brown was another who spent many off-seasons playing winter ball, primarily in Mexico and during his later years, Canada. Raymond was one of the most versatile star pitchers in black baseball, utilizing a sinker, slider and fastball along with his best pitch, the overhand curveball. Brown also participated in two East-West All-Star Games with no decisions in either. Brown would be selected to the Hall of Fame in 2006. Richard Merkin Collection.
