Possibly the greatest pitcher of all time, Satchel Paige started out in the Negro Leagues in the 1920's and went on to play in the major leagues in the 1940's. He played years after most would have retired. The muted tones of the art here somehow add to the story. Paige is a legend and learning more about his history and the struggles of players during the Jim Crow era was informative. The introduction was written by local favorite Gerald Early.
