Book Reviews of Satchel Paige
Book Review: A "PAGE" in the history of baseball.
Summary: 2 Stars
I must confess, until Woody Allen and Mia Farrow named their son "Satchel" I knew little with regard to this sports figure with the exception of infrequently shelving in the library, a biography book. When Allen-Farrow's son was born, I then had a number of queries regarding the man. I finally sat down and read about him when I had to read this book for a librarian's program, this being required reading. I remember the days when glass bottles would be returned to the local supermarket "for pennies" and those bottles would be refilled, as it is mentioned.
Also,
"fast talking, + slow walking"
-- (and I was tempted to think)
= begats slow working!
His "attitude" problem, I HAD A PROBLEM with!
The book is fine for anyone interested in baseball and/or the history of baseball.
