{"product_id":"yankee-miracles-ray-negron-9780871404619","title":"Yankee Miracles: Life with the Boss and the Bronx Bombers","description":"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. \u003cem\u003eYankee Miracles\u003c\/em\u003e is a book about the power of baseball to transform lives, about all those miracles on 161st Street we never knew were there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ray Negron, Sally Cook\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871404613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871404619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/11\/2012 pg. 43\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012 pg. 38","brand":"Ray Negron","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302088995071,"sku":"9780871404619","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f59854cd-09af-47ed-9069-6fe5ecd5dc0e.jpg?v=1695159453","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yankee-miracles-ray-negron-9780871404619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
