One Act of Grace: The Day George Steinbrenner Changed Ray Negron’s Life


Listen Later

One wrong move could have ended his future — instead, it changed his life. When a teenage Ray Negron was caught tagging graffiti on Yankee Stadium, he expected handcuffs. What he got instead was a job — from George Steinbrenner himself. That unexpected act of grace set Ray on a path from the streets of the Bronx to the inner circle of one of the most iconic sports dynasties in history.

Rachel Uchitel sits down with Ray to talk about the moment that changed everything… and the decades he’s spent paying it forward. From his work as a Yankees advisor to his bestselling books and community outreach, Ray’s life is a testament to the impact of being given — and giving — a second chance.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How Ray Negron went from vandal to trusted Yankees insider

  • What George Steinbrenner saw in a kid most people would’ve dismissed

  • The behind-the-scenes stories from four decades with the Yankees

  • Why second chances matter — and how to recognize when they show up

  • How Ray uses his platform to mentor at-risk youth and honor his roots

This episode is about grace, redemption, and the lives we change when we choose to believe in someone.
