Ray entered Restoration Ministries when it became very clear to him that God called him to be here. After graduating from Harvey House in 1989, he worked an outside job while continuing to live at Harvey House. He eventually became the Harvey House Director. In 1997, when the executive director left for another position, Ray was entrusted as Acting Director for months until the board realized he was the best man for the job. He was named Executive Director of Restoration Ministries in 1998. Since then, Ray has helped over 200 men and women successfully complete their recovery programs. In 1991, Ray started a youth group for teenagers in Harvey and surrounding suburbs, and he became a youth pastor at Spirit of God Fellowship in South Holland. He was also instrumental in starting Restoration Ministries' youth outreach programs. Ray is an elected member of Thornton Township District 205 School Board, representing the many families who entrust in him their children's education. In May of 2020, Ray suffered a stroke. When his family asked for prayers on social media, more than a thousand replied that they were praying for him. People who Ray had cared for, mentored, and inspired over the years—plus their families, their children, and friends—all prayed for Ray's recovery. Ray is back spending three days a week in his office, counseling Harvey House residents.

Listener Andrew Cosentino wanted to know more about Baltimore's chapter of Negro Leagues baseball history, so we caught up with Ray Banks of the Hubert V Simmons Museum of Negro Leagues Baseball, to learn about the Baltimore Elite Giants and The Baltimore Black Sox. And sportswriter Charlie Vascellaro helps us track down a historic ballfield in Druid Hill Park where some of the earliest games were played. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Last Kayfabe by Ray Banks

This episode almost didn’t see the light of day, but not because it was almost lost or deleted. If you’ve listened to the Grind Pulp Podcast, you know that we don’t worry about language or censoring our thoughts. The problem when you add copious amounts of alcohol to the mix is that everything gets a little wobbly around the edges. Andrew and Jeronimo stumbled into this recording session after attending a party. If you take anything away from this podcast, be sure to fact check that information frequently. Sid Haig doesn’t like to be called Sig by drunk people. Super Fly came out in 1972. Shaft in ’71. And Allan Arbus was indeed born into a Jewish household in NYC.   Stories:  1.     Avra Bolling, She Killed to Live – Guy Hadleigh            2.     Remy’s Revenge – Paige Green 3.     The G-string Gundown – in Blood & Tacos #2, Walter Himes (discovered by Josh Stallings)   Feature Presentation:   Coffy (1973) – directed by Jack Hill   Episode 15 is coming soon.
