"The Yankees bought Ray from the Red Sox in September of 1952 to aid them in their successful pennant drive. He showed signs of returning to his old form, turning in five key victories for the World Champions.
Ray started his pro career with Chattanooga in 1940 and played his first major league game for the Senators in 1942. An ex-Navy Lieutenant and graduate of Wake Forest, he was traded to the White Sox and then to the Red Sox in 1950."
