Ray Negron reflects on the Boss, time with Yankees

On June 29, 1973, in the first year of the George Steinbrenner era, the Yankees were in their last season of the original Yankee Stadium. Only 9,611 people attended the game that afternoon, but Ray Negron was there. Negron, a 17-year-old from Queens, was caught spray-painting the outside of the stadium by Steinbrenner.

The Bronx Ambassador

On the last day of his junior year of high school, in 1973, Ray Negron put on a button-down shirt, so his mother wouldn’t suspect that he was skipping class, and rode the subway to Yankee Stadium. He took the shirt off, bought a burger at McDonald’s, and started spray-painting buildings with a few friends. “What you waiting for?” one of them asked. “Tag the goddam stadium.” Negron took a can of white paint, walked up to a wall on the third-base line, and traced an “N” and a “Y.”
