The Man George Steinbrenner Saved | Ray Negron’s Story | The Chazz Palminteri Show Ep 268

Actor and filmmaker Chazz Palminteri sits down with longtime New York Yankees executive and community advocate Ray Negron.

Ray’s incredible journey began as a teenager in the Bronx when he was caught spray-painting graffiti at Yankee Stadium. Instead of punishment, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner gave him a second chance, putting him to work with the team as a batboy. That opportunity turned into a remarkable 53-year career with the organization.

In this episode, Ray shares behind-the-scenes stories about legendary Yankees players and the unforgettable characters from the Bronx Zoo era. He also reflects on his childhood, the challenges he faced growing up, and how the Yankees organization helped change the direction of his life.

This conversation is about baseball history, mentorship, resilience, and the power of second chances.
