Leroy "Satchel" Paige was arguably one of the world's greatest pitchers and a premier star of Negro Leagues Baseball. But in this biography Donald Spivey reveals Paige to have been much more than just a blazing fastball pitcher. Spivey follows Paige from his birth in Alabama in 1906 to his death in Kansas City in 1982, detailing the challenges Paige faced battling the color line in America and recounting his tests and triumphs in baseball. He also opens up Paige's private life during and after his playing days, introducing readers to the man who extended his social, cultural, and political reach beyond the limitations associated with his humble background and upbringing. 410 0$aSports and American culture series. 517 3 $aLeroy "Satchel" Paige 606 $aBaseball players$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American baseball players$vBiography 606 $aPitchers (Baseball)$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aDiscrimination in sports$zUnited States 606 $aNegro leagues$xHistory 615 0$aBaseball players 615 0$aAfrican American baseball players 615 0$aPitchers (Baseball) 615 0$aDiscrimination in sports 615 0$aNegro leagues$xHistory. 676 $a796.357092 700 $aSpivey$b Donald$01811511 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956158503321 996 $a"If you were only white"$94363414 997 $aUNINA
