Player Biography
Ace pitcher Raymond Brown anchored the Homestead Grays rotation during the team’s Negro National League dynasty years (1937-1945). The durable right-hander combined a variety of pitches to set up his magnificent curveball. An all-around athlete, the switch-hitting Brown also played the outfield and pinch hit. In 1938, the Pittsburgh Courier named Brown as one of five players the Pittsburgh Pirates should sign in order to guarantee a pennant. Brown was selected to two East-West All-Star teams during his 19-year career and threw a one-hitter in the 1944 Negro League World Series.
