"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."

The craziest/saddest thing that happened to me was that my 4th grade English teacher gave me a D- on a book report done on a Lou Gehrig biography. Why? The 1978 Yankees in the World Series made her eat her public words, and he was a Yankee! Also, it was only about a month later. What did I do? I put the report on the fridge and made my parents keep it there until it came time to clean for Passover. Man I was proud of it, knowing my grade had nothing to do with how I wrote it.
