-1950 Bowman No. 108

"Ray was always rough on the Red Sox when he was with the Senators and White Sox. Boston, which procured him in a winter trade, hopes he will be as rough in 1951 on the Beantown's seven American League competitors. Ray had a 13-18 record in 1950, divided between Washington and Chicago.
He came to them in 1942 and remained with them until the Chisox trade. He was in military service for two years."

-1951 Bowman No. 39 (Bowman Gum, Inc.)

"Ray won 12 games and lost nine for the Red Sox in 1951. He appeared in 37 contests, pitching 184 innings, and compiled 71 strikeouts against 61 walks.
In baseball since 1940, Ray began with Chattanooga. He joined the Senators in 1942, was traded to the White Sox in May 1950, and to the Red Sox for 1951."

-1952 Bowman No. 140

"The Red Sox finally landed Ray for 1951 after he ruined their pennant bids by beating them in crucial games in 1949 as a Senator and in 1950 as a White Sox hurler.
A pickle salesman in the off-season, Ray taught high school after graduating from Wake Forest. The Senators brought him up in 1942 after he had a winning record at Selma and at Chattanooga. A Navy Lieutenant during World War II, his best year was 1948 when he won 15."
