it's not the question which is poor.

you can continue to lament that the organization did not assemble a super team of 26 superb players. it is your prerogative to desire such thing.

but it might be worthwhile to remember our expectations at the commencement of the season.

my own expectation was that the team would win ~ 94 games give or take a couple.

I thought 94 wins would suffice in securing first place in the AL East

if we wish to contemplate poor questions.............

"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."
