The Ray Brown Project
Ray Brown starred for the Homestead Grays of the pre-intregration Negro Leagues. Posthumously inducted into both the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame, the pitcher hailed from the Hardin County village of Alger. His hometown never recognized his baseball exploits, though the Hardin County Historical Museums and the Ohio Northern University History Program are working with the Village of Alger to remedy this glaring omission through a multi-faceted park project.
