Ray Negron

from Failing Up · host Failing Up

If you're a Yankee fan, Ray Negron's story is going to blow you away. If you just love baseball, I promise you'll love his amazing story, and even if you don't care for sports at all, Ray's story should touch you. As a teenager, Ray was caught spray painting on Yankee Stadium, by none other than "The Boss" George Steinbrenner. Instead of calling the police, George decided to put Ray to work for the Yankees to pay off his debt. That's just the beginning of the story. Ray talks about his time with Reggie Jackson and what he had to do with Reggie's famous 3-Home Run World Series feat, as well as his good friends Thurmon Munson, Billy Martin and many other Yankee greats. If you're looking at the photo that accompanies this podcast, Ray is sitting right in the middle, and for good reason. Don't miss his show!
