If it was not all so true, you’d think it was a fairy tale.
A seventeen-year-old from Queens spray paints graffiti on
Yankee Stadium and gets nabbed by George Steinbrenner
himself. Contrary to his gruff public image, the Boss—driven
by a compassionate inner voice—reclaims the teen at a time
when the Bronx is literally burning. Thus begins the
unlikeliest of baseball stories, one in which Ray Negron is
transformed from street kid to batboy and beyond.
Befriending many of major league baseball’s greatest
stars—Billy Martin, Reggie Jackson, Munson, Mantle, Catfish,
A-Rod, Jeter, even Mrs. Lou Gehrig—Negron ultimately emerges
as a dynamic community leader, dedicating his own life to
helping the sick and rescuing generations of city kids from
unfulfilled lives. Yankee Miracles is a book about the power
of baseball to transform lives, about all those miracles on
161st Street we never knew were there. 8 photographs
