Need Help Identifying Negro League Homestead Grays Player

[filmmaker]

I am trying to find out who this player is on the Homestead Grays. I figured some of you on here may immediately know who the player is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like Ray Brown...

It's Roy Partlow, Grays pitcher from 1938-1944 (except 1940 when he played in Mexico). He was a heck of a hitter and played in the outfield when needed. When Johnny Wright washed out of Montreal in 1946, the Dodgers signed Partlow to join Jackie Robinson on the Royals. Although he was 2-0 he was also 35 years-old and never made it to the majors.

What's that photo from?

Glad that you cleared that up. I was second-guessing myself after looking at the pic of Partlow posted here, and the ones I saw of Brown.
