Book Reviews of Maybe I'll Pitch Forever

Book Review: Good Then; Good Now
Summary: 5 Stars

I actually read this book - and loved it - when it came out in the early 1960s. I've never forgotten it, so when I saw it listed here at Amazon, I bought it....and am glad I did. It's still entertaining.

You have to take Satchel with a grain-of-salt, meaning his bragging. He is brutal, never stopping telling how great he was! Hey, Satch: I believe you! Paige was one-of-a-kind, a real character, and that's what makes this book fun. He also was one of the greatest pitchers of all-time and it's sad that most people don't know that.

Yes, he's bitter about not being able to strut his stuff in the Major Leagues, but you can't blame him. I just shake my head thinking of the records this man would own had he been given a chance to compete when he was young. He would have been a 300, maybe 400-game winner.

Anyway, his verbal expressions, his honesty about his faults and his (probable) exaggerations on some things all make for a good reason for any baseball fan. Kids can read it, too; the material is pretty clean.
