  • 'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron to Sign at Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Taryn Duffy 914-457-2431 [email protected] John Cirillo 914-260-7436 [email protected] 'Yankee Miracles' Author Ray Negron To Sign At Empire City Casino Nov. 5 Longtime Yankees Advisor, Community Relations Leader October 19, 2012 – In 1973, young Ray Negron's life changed forever when, while spray painting graffiti on the outside of Yankee Stadium, he was caught by none other than Principal Owner George Steinbrenner. Rather than turn in the 18- year-old Queens youth to police, the Boss gave Ray a job as Yankees batboy, to pay off the cost of the damages. Given the second chance, Negron thrived. Now he tells his amazing story, which includes close friendships with some of the game's greatest stars and personalities (Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson and Billy Martin, to name a few) as well as a career as a community leader and Yankees advisor, in his new book Yankee Miracles, which recently reached the top spot for both new biographies and baseball books on the Amazon.com list. On Monday, November 5, Negron will meet fans, pose for photographs and sign copies of Yankee Miracles at Empire City Casino (810 Yonkers Ave., Yonkers, N.Y.) from 6-7 p.m., open to the public. Then from 7-9 p.m. he will conduct a special reading and Q&A session at an elite dinner event in the casino's Good Time Room. The antithesis of Ball Four or The Bronx Zoo in tone, Yankee Miracles does not dwell on steroids, drug use, or scandals, but creates a portrait of baseball that is unapologetically affectionate told by someone, a baseball insider, who was given a very unique second chance.

Consider the Bronx, one of the hottest destinations in the city for day trips, dining, sports L and recreation. The Bronx is now an increasingly sought-after location for investment by commercial real estate investors involved in hotel development, retail and more. It’s hard to run out of things do in this borough, home to famous attractions including the Bronx Zoo, the New York Botanical Garden and Yankee Stadium. For foodies, there are plenty of culinary choices to explore in Bronx neighborhoods such as the historic seaport community City Island and Arthur Avenue, also known as the Little Italy of the Bronx. Currently in the works are additional new eateries, located in former Bronx General Post Office building. And history buffs will find no shortage of interesting sites in the borough, from the Edgar Allen Poe Cottage, where the famous poet once lived, and Woodlawn Cemetery, which dates back to the Civil War era. The Bronx is bursting with excitement, not to mention the many action-packed events that take place there year-round. This year, the Bronx Walk of Fame inducted the legendary medical-device entrepreneur Manny Villafaña, hip-hop DJ Funkmaster Flex, actress Selenis Leyva and singer and songwriter Prince Royce. Their names will appear on street signs along a 2-mile strip of the Grand Concourse. Coming up are SalsaFest, a month-long festival in August that will feature many live music performances, and the Tour de Bronx cycling event on October 22.

    The Merging of Marketing and Sports: A Case Study Marber, Wellen and Posluszny THE MERGING OF MARKETING AND SPORTS: A CASE STUDY ALLEN MARBER, Fordham University PAUL WELLEN, Roosevelt University SUSAN POSLUSZNY, Fordham University The New York Yankees are a perfect example of the merging of marketing and professional sports. But why are the Yankees such a financial and secular success? Why does this team generate more revenue from ticket sales, merchandising, advertising and other sources than any other American sports franchise? Indeed, the Yankees, whether wittingly or unwittingly, appear to be a perfect ex- ample of effective marketing management.
