Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As already noted, this work is the results of a seven day or so interview of the great Satchel Paige by the author in 1970.It is far more than simply a book of "baseball war stories."The interview clearly illuminates the personality of one of the greatest baseball players who ever lived (beyond a doubt the best pitcher).There was much more here, to this man than just a great arm.The author captures Paige's somewhat erratic personality.The man, Paige, was certainly a character and much more that a simple "jock."On the other hand, reading between the lines, there is a whimsical sadness ever present.As you read, you cannot help but wonder what might have been had the times been different.You get the feeling that Paige knew, ergo, the sadness.Recommend this one for any baseball fan or those simply interested in or countries history, warts and all.
