Episode three features NY Yankees executive, best-selling author, producer, and inspirational speaker, Ray Negron sharing stories from over 50 years with the New York Yankees on the NYS Halls of Fame Podcast

Ray Negron is an executive in the New York Yankees organization. His position with the Yankees is impressive, but the story of how he achieved all of his success is incredible. It is a story based on someone taking a chance on Ray when he was behaving badly and could have ended up in jail, but instead this person offered Ray a job as the Yankees batboy. That moment changed not only Ray's life, but possibly, as you will hear Ray tell, the lives of many other people. The someone who took the chance on Ray was George Steinbrenner AKA "The Boss" and the stories Ray tells about Mr. Steinbrenner and the entire Yankees organization, which he has been a part of for the last 50 years, is fascinating and heart-warming.
