Ray Negron's amazing journey began decades 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, the boss decided against putting him in jail and instead, offered him a second chance making him the batboy for the greatest franchise in sports history. He 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 35 years, he shared a unique and special relationship with owner George Stienbrenner until the bosses passing in 2010. His life is the was the subject a great book Yankee Miracles: Life with The Boss and the Bronx Bombers which has been adapted into a of a new play which will be here on Long Island at the Argyle theater in Babylon on Sunday June 24th. He joins Mark and AJ to talk about it.
