"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."

Consider three players and their slash lines: Player A: 27 PA, .120/.241/.160/.401
Player B: 33 PA, .143/.273/.143/.416
Player C: 18 PA, .238/.273/.476/.749
Player A is Aaron Judge 2025 spring training.
Player B is Lou Gehrig 1939 regular season.
At what point do we start worrying?
Oh, and Player C is Alex Jackson. When Alex Jackson is beating you by .333 OPS points, you have a problem.

US DOD FORCED TO PUT BACK LT. JACKIE ROBINSON'S MILITARY STORY ON ITS WEBSITE!
Is Carrasco the first Yankees SP to go 5 innings? Then we get to hear through Boone about how the bullpen is overused. Well, when you give these guys 6 starts, and they are in their 5th turn and no one has yet to go 5. Really? Is this proper preparation for the season?
We feast off on bad pitching like the Phillies Walker. So don't get excited about the offense in spring training.
Really optimistic about Bellinger. If Judge is Judge and a few of the kids hit along with Bellinger we should have a better offense than last year. I am also optimistic about Dominguez having a good offensive season. Yes, I know its only spring training.
