Ray Prisby owns thousands of artifacts of the team and the star player, and has been honored for his fandom.
It was a fitting tribute for Prisby, a Youngstown resident who has amassed thousands of Cleveland Browns artifacts over decades, and who has been recognized as one of the best fans in the country. Prisby followed the Browns when he served in the Air Force, trying desperately to get reception to hear games on the radio, a coat hanger clipped to a car antenna. He mailed a new VCR back home to his sister and told her to tape every game.
“I still have the jersey that he signed,” Prisby said. “He signed the jersey, someone took a shot with a Polaroid, and it spit out the picture. He signed the jersey, and then he signed the picture.” Prisby said he found himself talking more to Brown’s wife, to explain the history of the artifacts. But it was Brown who was soaking up his own life.
“If I collected a helmet - I call it going down the rabbit hole - I’ve got to collect every helmet. If it’s a bobblehead, every bobblehead. If I get a pennant, every pennant, and so on. It’s the same thing with Jim Brown.”
