"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 did not start out as a fan of Volpe. I thought that he was not as valuable at shortstop as Peraza would be.
I'm a great believer in defense up the middle.
watching Volpe play in 2023 convinced me that Volpe is greater than the sum of his physical tools.
I've the idea that he will succeed in MLB and that when he's made to understand that the team is better served if he emphasizes OBP over power, he's going, by late 2024, to become a viable lead-off guy.
