“Batboy: A Yankees Tale” Off-Broadway Play at DeSeta Hall

Ray Negron was living every boy’s dream as the batboy for the baseball world champions, the Yankees.

Ray as a teenager skipped the last day of his junior year of high school and spray painted Yankees Stadium.  But, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner collared Ray for spraying graffiti on the side of the stadium and in order to pay off the damages Mr. Steinbrenner made him work off his damages.  Ray became the Yankees bat boy and remained with the organization for 46 years and was one of the team’s most trusted advisors.

Enjoy a wonderful play about personal responsibility, finding your purpose, and how second chances changed on man’s life beyond his wildest dreams.

Fifty percent of the ticket sales will go back to Admiral Farragut Academy Farragut Fund.
