* Review: We are the Ship and Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow

June 24, 2008

Kevin Baker, author of Sometimes You See it Coming, did this review of two books about the Negro Leagues targeted for younger readers in the June 15 issue of the NY Times‘ Sunday book section. I never realized this was the same Baker that wrote the very entertaining historical fiction Paradise Alley, about the violent draft strike in New York City against conscription during the Civil War. According to the blurb, he’s working on a history of baseball in NYC.
