"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."

Will Warren wasn't quite ready for the majors. I thought the Yankees, when losing so many pitchers to injury (Gil, Schmidt, Poteet), should have, at the very least, used Luke Weaver as a "temporary replacement" starter until the others returned. Unlike Warren, Weaver is an experienced Major Leaguer, and before he came to the Yankees, he was a Major League starter for multiple Major League teams. Granted, he did not have a very good record at all as a big league starter, but the Yankees made adjustments with him and turned him into a much better Major League pitcher, and I am sure those adjustments would translate to him as a starter, the same way those adjustments worked with Wea…
an optimist might feel moved to mention that the non-third baseman Chisholm, in his as yet brief Yankee tenure, has provided significant, good offense.
I was quite surprised to see that he's batting over .300 as a Yankee
and, as of now, is second only to Judge in OPS
the Yankees should have exited August with no less than 81 wins.
