Art Modell owned the Cleveland Browns/Baltimore Ravens NFL franchise from 1961-2004 before selling a majority stake in the team to Steve Bisciotti. Since moving the Browns to Baltimore in 1996, Modell and his wife, Pat, have entrenched themselves in the community. They are active in many charitable causes, including Johns Hopkins Hospital and the House of Ruth. Modell was also a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001 and a semifinalist in 2004-07. The Babe Ruth/Sports Legends Museum will honor Modell, 82, with a celebration Oct. 23.
