"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."

I've told this story before, but it's worth repeating (I hope). Opening Day at Yankee Stadium 1978. It's a weekday, so my Dad is at work, and Mom takes me. It's a celebration of last year's World Championship team, and there's a promotion for the star of the Series, Reggie Jackson, last seen homering in three, straight swings of the bat in Game 6. Jackson famously said that, if he came to New York, they'd name a candy bar after him. No marketing opportunity may go untaken, so indeed, it did come pass that the Reggie Bar was created, and then promoted through a giveaway to all the fans at Opening Day.

Not an exact match, but I was frustrated then, others laughed. My mother was in the car waiting for me, but I was on hold to be the next caller on WFAN. She knew this, I said hello to my mother on the sir, then was amazed my mother turned the radio on. Well, on the next Shabbos in shul, people came up to my mother and were amazed she didn't hear it. Well the next day was Mother's Day, so my sisters decided to have fun at my mother's expense. But when I grilled her steak bloody rare, all I was forgiven.
