Judge > Stanton -- wrong

Volpe > anyone -- wrong

Is Fried back on track?

Judge down to only an .005 lead for batting title! Forget "historic" season.

Will Volpe or Wells be the first to fall below .200 BA? Below 80 wRC+?

Over / Under: McMahon total bases, 2.5

Why? Has Dominguez been looking bad in the OF lately? I see this team messing with him, trading him and him becoming an All Star for someone else.

probably not gonna trade him, Edward.

they spent this season forcing him to learn left field defense, forcing him to improve his right-handed hitting and making him learn to hit for average from his left side.

he's looking as though he'll be a complete player rather than a thretrueoutcome sort

with Grisham likely leaving and Bellinger likely to be shopped by his agent, Dominguez will be back

Nice job by Blackburn lowering his Yankee ERA from 18.90 to a mere 13.50!

"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."
