I am reading "Satchel Paige Striking Out Jim Crow". It is written by James Sturm and Rich Tommaso. I have just finished the book so 1944 to the end. In this part Mr. Emmet and his son went to a baseball game in town. The game is the Satchel Paige All-stars vs Tuckwilla All-stars. There was a lot of desegregation. Satchel Paige did not show up till the 9th inning but before he did the game was tied but then Satchel came and kept the other team from scoring and they did score so they won. This was easily the most interesting part of the book. I think he wrote this because Satchel Paige is a very interesting man is historic man to. The theme is Jim Crow laws and baseball. The best character is Satchel Paige because he is a historic. There is not many quotation from the book. One question I have is why they don't tell the story of Satchel Paige with Satchel Paige as the main talker?
