We have a baseball guest, Dr. Paul Semendinger, a barbecue guest, Christie Vanover, and a rant from Jeff. Those three things make for a very entertaining episode.
Dr. Paul Semendinger was leading a double life, one as an educator with a career that culminated in his last position as a middle school principal, from which he recently retired. The other is as an author of several books and as the Editor-in-Chief and writer for his New York Yankees news and opinion blog, Start Spreading the News https://www.startspreadingthenews.blog/ His latest project is Roy White: From Compton to the Bronx which he co-authored with Roy White. The stories from Roy White, former New York Yankees left fielder, are wonderful and Paul was the perfect person to help get them on paper and into a book. Even the story of how Paul got the opportunity to assist Roy with telling these stories is an entertaining classic. Dr. Semendinger is a member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA). Go to https://drpaulsem.com/appearances/ for more information on Dr. Paul Semindinger.
