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.

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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In stark prose and powerful graphics, author and artist share the story of a sports hero, role model, consummate showman, and era-defining American.","brand":"Disney-Hyperion","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45032389050519,"sku":"9781368042895","price":875.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781368042895.webp?v=1769208072","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/satchel-paige-striking-out-jim-crow-9781368042895","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
