SATCHEL PAIGE STRIKING OUT JIM CROW SC

An Eisner Award-nominee! Baseball Hall of Famer Leroy "Satchel" Paige changed the face of the game in a career that spanned five decades. A tall, lanky fireballer, he was arguably the Negro League's hardest thrower, most entertaining storyteller, and greatest gate attraction. 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.
