Ray Negron is a Best-Selling Author, NY Yankees Executive, Producer and Inspirational Speaker.   Ray’s amazing journey began fifty years ago when at 17-years of age, he was caught spraying graffiti on a wall at Yankee Stadium by NY Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner. As fate would have it, Steinbrenner decided against putting Ray in jail and instead, offered him a second chance making him the batboy for the greatest franchise in sports history. Ray was propelled into a dream job sharing the dugout with the “Bronx Zoo” team of the seventies. He became a positive influence in the fiery clubhouse that included Manager Billy Martin, superstar Reggie Jackson and the legendary Thurman Munson. And for the next 37 years, Steinbrenner and Ray built a special relationship until Steinbrenner’s passing in 2010.   Steinbrenner’s vision lives on through Ray. As a Community Consultant for the NY Yankees, Ray is immersed in ensuring that veteran players and Yankee rookies promote the tradition of the club’s pride and inspiration by visiting terminally sick kids in hospitals and supporting the inner-city youth throughout New York. He was the co-founder of “Hank’s Yanks”, a not for profit competitive youth travel baseball team for underprivileged kids (ages 10-18) founded by the late New York Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner.   Check out Rays website theraynegronstory.com Ray on Social Media @RayNegronYanks Rays Book "Yankee Miracles: Life with the Boss and the Bronx Bombers" Be sure to leave your comments below!
