Summary

"Here is the ... story of athlete, showman, philosopher, and boundary breaker Leroy 'Satchel' Paige.... Tye shows Paige ... growing into the superstar hurler of the Negro Leagues ... [and emerging] at the age of forty-two to help propel the Cleveland Indians to the World Series.... More than a fascinating account of a baseball odyssey, [this book] rewrites our history of the integration of the sport, with Satchel Paige in a starring role."--Front flap of jacket
