Pitchin' Man: Satchel Paige's Own Story (Baseball and American Society 20),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Originally published in 1948 from interviews conducted and set down by Cleveland sports writer Hal Lebovitz, this work, the autobiography of one of the most colorful and talented players to play professional baseball, is at once the story of a person and a unique and valuable document in the history of baseball.As John Holway puts it in his preface, 'there were at least three Satchel Paiges. One was the star pitcher of baseball legend. Another was the droll humorist and minstrel show endman. The third was the least known of all, the revolutionary who helped effect a sea change in the game and in American society as a whole. Jackie Robinson symbolized the revolution, but Satchel had been one of the crucial pioneers who helped force open the door so Jackie later could walk through.'In this book, we see the first two sides of Satchel Paige quite clearly. He was without a doubt a media star who used his newly acquired visibility to enchant and enliven professional sports and the literature that feeds off it. But, while his greatest playing days were spent outside the major leagues, the bottom line was that Paige like many other Negro League greats had vast reserves of talent to bring to whitedominated baseball, racking up major wins in his seasons with the Cleveland Indians.The story of Paige the revolutionary is here as a subtext. Under his account of his rise from poverty, his life on the road with the Kansas City Monarchs, his pitching duels with black greats, the winning of a major league contract, and his joining the Indians, there is a serious story that in many ways parallels any struggle to succeed against a battery of odds. That Paige retained his sense of humor and his ability to charm, is a testament to the man whose nickname became so thoroughly a household word and whose record established him as one of the alltime greats of baseball.
