"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."
We are excited to announce our new sponsorship with FOCO for all officially licensed goods!
High DEF Drone Camera's with shots of the field action along with more replays with less chatter from announcers!
I have somewhere on screen to click with any stat available on demand.
I got 3 main changes:
1) No interview with players in the field;
2) Since MLB has taken over the minors, and they are making those games available to us, better camera angles, and why can't I watch through my subscription games at Leigh Valley (Gotta go to MiLB.com and get the game from there), and someone go to Reading and fix their whole broadcast system;
3) How about an angle like they've started to give us in football, called the full 22 look.
tv thrives on action and aggression
and might be less interested in the quality of baseball games
than in spectacle
well-played games are different from action-packed games
tv prefers wrestling exhibitions where people are beaten with folding chairs
instead of tennis matches featuring long rallies
I'd reduce the number of commercials between innings while jacking up the price. Supply and demand.
