"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."

Speaking of Yogi, I hope you won't mind my mentioning that a former roommate of his, Art Schallock, the oldest living player, has died at the age of 100. https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/art-schallock-oldest-living-player-dies-at-100 His biggest claim to fame is that he's the guy who was brought up when Mickey Mantle was sent down to the minors in 1951. In a moment of poetic justice, the last home run Schallock gave up in MLB was to Mantle. RIP, Mr. Schallock.
