"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."

Seeing a 17-year take on Aaron Judge - and not backing down!
Cal Raleigh GIDP'ing against Brazil and Bobby Witt getting struck out by a college player. MVP candidates my posterior!
For me, it's about seeing some of the kids in Spring Training because guys went off to the WBC, starting with then-rookie Melky Cabrera in 2006. or both Dominguez & Narvzez in 2023. I love being able to see more of Lagrange & Hess because of the 5 pitchers off to the WBC, who would all need innings if they were here.
I'm trying to get excited by the WBC but I still can't manage to watch more than an occasional highlight. If the USA plays Japan in the final, then that might be intriguining enough for me to tune in on.
I find myself being far more interested in watching spring training games. I was hoping to see Nick Torres get ten or twenty at-bats this spring, but looks like that's not happening. Here I thought he had a remote chance to make the opening day roster as a fourth outfielder. Guess again! Looks like the Yankees have all but given the 4th outfielder spot to Grichuk as he fills the team's need for a right-handed bat that can hit left-handed…
