Tonight is a great night. Mickey and I are celebrating Mick's Grandma's birthday. We will be playing some great music in the second half hour of the show. In the first half, we will read The Greatest Story Never Told by Ray Negron and then have Ray talk with us for a while.

Ray Negron is from New York. His first job as a New York Yankee batboy came when Yankee owner George Steinbrenner caught young Ray scrawling a Yankee logo on a Yankee Stadium wall. Steinbrenner hired him in the 70's and propelled him into a “dream job”. Despite his young age, Ray was a positive influence in the fiery clubhouse that included manager Billy Martin, superstar Reggie Jackson, the legendary Thurman Munson, and more.

Ray currently works with the New York Yankees as a personal consultant to George Steinbrenner and is also Director of Community Relations for Spalding, where he has been instrumental in supporting baseball in underprivileged areas.

Ray wrote The Boy of Steel, which was #2 on the NY Times Bestseller List and is currently on display at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. The Boy of Steel was awarded Best Children’s Picture Book at the International Latino Book Awards for 2007.
Ray’s most recent children’s book is entitled The Greatest Story Never Told: The Babe and Jackie. Ray has presently completed six books of which are currently being turned into film and animation projects.
