"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
"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
"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."

I'm on board with them breaking their all-time losing record. At least it would be something interesting to happen this season.
Went to a wedding. Came home, watched the game off DVR & the parts of the postgame show that I wanted to watch in under an hour. My comments, really questions: Who decide that Kahnle was the 8th inning pitcher? What has he done since they moved him there? Been very erratic. Peralta was fine in the 8th. What has he done since they moved him out of the late inning stuff? Been unreliable. But analytics knows best? As Jimmy Breslin once wrote (that I actually read): B---S---!
John Q. Fan: Hal. 6 losses in a row, are you concerned?
Hal: (sigh) 44, 566
JQF: Hal, 7 straight, can we get a reaction?
Hal: (yawn) 42, 599
JQF: Good God, Hal, 8 straight. Will you do SOMETHING?
Hal: (zzzzz, HUH?) Oh, 43,946
JQF: 9 Hal, the number is 9.
Hal: (Really?) 38, 105. The suckers never learn. Off to the Yacht Club!
Apparently, the all-time franchise losing streak is 12, held by the 1908 Highlanders during Kid Elberfeld's 98-game managerial career (.276 winning percentage). However, after rookie Joe Lake held off the White Sox with a complete-game, one-run, five-hit performance on August 6 (perhaps fitting, as he was the losing pitcher, to the White Sox, in the first game of the streak on July 23, and would lead the AL in losses with 22), New York returned to its feckless ways, reeling off another seven-game losing streak.
Let's do it for the kids....
