A Major League Baseball player, Nobel Prize-winning author and former Cleveland mayor have been selected as the recipients of this year's “Great Ohioan" award. The honorees — Larry Doby, Toni Morrison and Carl Stokes, respectively — were selected Thursday by the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board and Capitol Square Foundation from nominations submitted by citizens and organizations from across Ohio. “It is fitting to recognize these three amazing people as Great Ohioans. They changed society and the way we all look at society. Their impact went well beyond Ohio’s borders,” said Capitol Square Foundation Chairman Charles Moses in a statement.
