* But of course, the Irish love baseball

July 3, 2009

From the Irish Times, this review of Tye’s new book.

Upshot:

[F]ormer Boston Globe reporter Larry Tye has done a fine job of separating fact from fiction in Satchel: The Life and Times of an American Legend , published by Random House. Combing through back issues of black-audience newspapers of the day and the memoirs of Paige’s contemporaries, he has produced a book that may not solve the riddle, but is the nearest thing to a definitive account possible.
