Paul, you gotta stop putting the blame at Boone's feet. EJ is right, it's all on Cashman & Hal. As for Stanton, he needs some sort of neuro muscular examination, before anything else. I've watched a lot of minor league Yankees affiliate games these past 2 years (and its always the home team's broadcast) and to me, there seems to be a definitive change once these kids hit AAA. Plus Cashman stuffs the AAA team with a lot of veterans, who also end up playing and blocking the kids from being promoted when they're ready. Do you know what it took to get Thorpe promoted to AA? He needed back to back awful outings. Only then, did they finall…

Great episode! This episode changed my my mind about a number of things. The Dr.'s arguments regarding the Yankees "hard hitting" philosophy are compelling. If you are a Yankee fan, and have never listened to a podcast, this is the one to start with.

"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."
