Happy birthday (?), Satchel Paige

July 7, 2010

The exact date of birth of the American icon has been in dispute for many years.

Books on Paige include:

Maybe I’ll Pitch Forever, by Paige with David Lipman

Satchel: The Life and Times of an American Legend, by Larry Tye (read my Q&A with Tye here)

Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow, by James Sturm

Don’t Look Back : Satchel Paige in the Shadows of Baseball, by Mark Ribowsky

Paige is a staple of any volume that chronicles the history of the Negro Leagues and is also the subject of numerous kids’ books, which is beyond the purview of this entity.
