"Satchel"
Paige
(1906
-
1982)
changed
the
face
of
the
game
in
a
career
that
spanned
five
decades.
Much
has
been
written
about
this
larger-than-life
pitcher,
but
when
it
comes
to
Paige,
fact
does
not
easily
separate
from
fiction.
He
made
a
point
of
writing
his
own
history
.
.
.
and
then
re-writing
it.
A
tall,
lanky
fireballer,
he
was
arguably
the
Negro
League's
hardest
thrower,
most
entertaining
storyteller
and
greatest
gate
attraction.
Now
the
Center
for
Cartoon
Studies
turns
a
graphic
novelist's
eye
to
Paige's
story.
Told
from
the
point
of
view
of
a
sharecropper,
this
compelling
narrative
follows
Paige
from
game
to
game
as
he
travels
throughout
the
segregated
South.
In stark prose and powerful graphics, author and artist share the story of a sports hero, role model, consummate showman, and era-defining American.
