Play ball with Satchel Paige with this nonfiction picture book biography from two Coretta Scott King Award-winning creators.

No one pitched like Leroy Satchel Paige. Fans packed the stands to see how many batters he could strike out in one game. He dazzled them with his unique pitching style, and he even gave nicknames to some of his trademark pitches--there was the hesitation, his magic slow ball, and the bee ball, named because it would always be where he wanted it to be.

Follow Satch'​s career through these beautiful illustrations as he begins playing in the semi-pros and goes on to become the first African American to pitch in a major League World Series, and the first Negro Leaguer to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
