A Bronx Tale you should be reading

Posted by: Peter Abraham - Posted in Misc on Jan 17, 2008 Print This Post Print This Post | Email This Post Email This Post

I’ve given props to Alex Belth of Bronx Banter before. His blog was an inspiration for this one.

Check out the series of stories he is doing on Ray Negron. One of the cast of characters around the Yankees, Negron started out as a bat boy and is now an advisor to George Steinbrenner. He’s made a career of befriending the right people.

Alex is a terrific writer and this is a real behind-the-scenes tale. So check it out.

    Just got finished reading part 1. Wow is all I can say. Very interesting story! Funny how punishment was to be a bat boy. I think many kids would hardly consider that punishment. Heck even adults would love to do that.

    Part 2 is the link Pete setup last night, Part 3 was just linked today. AMS223 posted Part 1 this morning. It’s confusing but it’s all there.
