Ray Caldwell was an interesting fella. Per his SABR biography, the Senators offered to deal Walter Johnson for him. Walter Johnson in pinstripes!

I think the Yankees are always seen as Murderers' (Row) with the bat, (Bronx) Bombers and so while many, many hitters are enshrined, deserving or not, it is probably at the expense of some excellent pitchers. Heck, the first six guys are HoFers and #7 will be eventually.

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post

The Least Among Them.png

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

​

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
