This May Be The Best

I am happy that all of the segregation BS was gone in my lifetime. During a Globetrotters' game, I saw Satchel pitch a basketball with deadly accuracy and speed. You can learn about the Negro Leagues in this book. Josh was one of the greats who never made it to the show, but he died ten months before the show started. That is terrible. Josh and Satch were rivals in baseball. The meeting recounted in this book is so crazy that it would never happen in a major league baseball game.I wish I could go back in time and see it, because I would love to see it. You will not believe how Satch messed with Josh. The author says that the dialogue comes from Satchel's own notes, so all I could see was Wow! If you buy it, you will like it.
