The Tuesday Discussion: Roll Call

August 23, 2022

***

This week we decided to make it light. We presented the following to our writers:


Oswaldo Cabrera had his roll call back to the bleacher creatures ready for his Yankees debut this past Wednesday. What would you’re signal be towards them?



Here are their responses:

***

Andy Singer - Theft is, in fact, the greatest form of flattery. Nick Swisher's standing salute to the Bleacher Creatures was perfect, so my acknowledgement to the crew would be strikingly similar to Swish's.


***

Paul Semendinger - I assume I'd be pitching. I'd step off the mound and simply tip my hat to the fans.


***

Tim Kabel - Well, I would be so shocked that I was in the major leagues, that my response to the bleacher creatures would be a little different. I think I would do my impression of Fred Sanford and pretend to have a heart attack by clutching my chest with one hand and staggering around with the other hand out in front of me. I don’t know that I would yell, “Elizabeth , I’m coming.” However, the pantomime would be sufficient, I think.


***

Mike Whiteman - At the office, I'm well known for my affinity to wear sweater vests. I believe the term "Poindexter" comes to mind (it is descriptive of my baseball playing skill as well). Should I be on the Yankee Stadium diamond and the Creatures call my name, I would look towards them and pull at my jersey in a fancy-like way, which I'm sure would drive them into a frenzy.


***

Ethan Semendinger - I'd assume that if I had the skill level to make the major leagues, I'd also be able to have the skill level to be able to do a backflip like the great Ozzie Smith. The only problem would be timing it correctly with the pitcher, but I can only imagine how that would go over for the bleacher creatures.


Realistically, if I- in my current abilities- was put on the diamond for the Yankees I would mock some soft toss where I would hit a home run ball into the right field bleachers for the creatures. Hopefully a few of them would play along and try to scramble for the "ball" too.

Scattering the Ashes.jpeg

"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

The Least Among Them.png

"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

From Compton to the Bronx.jpg

"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."
