Baseball Hall of Famer Leroy "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.
