Here’s Why Ray Negron Was Shouted Out As a Babylon Local Hero

BABYLON, NY — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Aris Sakellaridis who nominated Ray Negron of Babylon Village.

Aris nominated their friend, Ray, community advisor for the New York Yankees, for helping others within the community.

What does the local hero do?

Community Advisor for NY Yankees

Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

During his 49-year tenure with the team, Ray has made wishes come true. By way of meeting one's idol or helping a down-and-out family pay their rent, Ray has become a street hero.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?

Ray doesn't believe in "Charity begins at home ." He will give the pinstripes off his back to make life easier for one.

Thank you for all you do, Ray Negron!
