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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn stark prose and powerful graphics, author and artist share the story of a sports hero, role model, consummate showman, and era-defining American.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Disney Book Publishing Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407569690967,"sku":"9781368022323","price":14.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781368022323.jpg?v=1730499797","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/satchel-paige-9781368022323","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
