Description
Satchel Paige was forty-two years old in 1948 when he became the first black pitcher in the American League. For twenty-two years, beginning in 1926, Paige dazzled throngs with his performance in the Negro baseball leagues. Then he outlasted everyone by playing professional baseball until 1965. Struggle—against early poverty and racial discrimination—was part of Paige’s story. So was fast living and a humorous point of view.
