More on Graig Nettles and the Hall-of-Fame

by Paul Semendinger

August 21, 2021

***

Yesterday we engaged in some excellent debates about Graig Nettles and his worthiness for the Baseball Hall-of-Fame.

The discussions were fun and lively.

Today, I decided to link articles I found from other writers (many of them baseball’s most respected names) who also believe that Graig Nettles belongs in Cooperstown.

I look forward to some continued discussions.

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."
