*** Demarest Library 90 Hardenburgh Ave.Demarest, NJ 07627 201-768-8714 Join Dr. Paul Semendinger as he discusses the book he co-wrote with Roy White -  Roy White: From Compton to the Bronx .  He will use lessons taught from Roy White's life to showcase to others how to find success in their own lives today. About the Book A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness. Roy White played on the New York Yankees from 1965 through the 1979 season. Roy grew up on the tough streets of Compton and created a successful all-star baseball career playing alongside such greats as Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, Thurman Munson, Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, and many others. Today Roy White sits among the greatest all-time Yankees in most offensive categories. After his career with the Yankees, Roy White became a star in Japan playing for the Tokyo Giants and playing alongside the greatest Japanese player of all time Sadaharu Oh. 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. *** After a wonderful 32-year career in education,  Dr. Paul Semendinger  is now a fulltime author and part time college professor and is widely known for his knowledge of the history of baseball, specifically the New York Yankees. He is a member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA), the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR), and is the Editor-in-Chief of the successful Yankees blog,  Start Spreading the News .

*** I'll discuss third base - why the Yankees' actions demonstrate that even they didn't think Jazz Chisholm was a third baseman, the good and the less-than-good about the Ryan McMahon trade, and then, my franchise changing idea for getting the Yankees to the top in 2025. Something big needs to be done, immediately, that can make the Yankees feared in October (and they also need someone to get them there). My move would require a franchise changing philosophy and a big change that would give the team instant respect.

*** Staying positive on Valentine's Day!
