Описание: Baseball Hall of Famer Leroy "Satchel" Paige (1906 - 1982) changed the face of the game in a career that spanned five decades. Much has been written about this larger-than-life pitcher, but when it comes to Paige, fact does not easily separate from fiction. He made a point of writing his own history . . . and then re-writing it. A tall, lanky fireballer, he was arguably the Negro League's hardest thrower, most entertaining storyteller and greatest gate attraction. Now the Center for Cartoon Studies turns a graphic novelist's eye to Paige's story. Told from the point of view of a sharecropper, this compelling narrative follows Paige from game to game as he travels throughout the segregated South. In stark prose and powerful graphics, author and artist share the story of a sports hero, role model, consummate showman, and era-defining American.

Описание:
Leroy "Satchel" Paige was a man of many words--boastful, brash, bitter, wise. Maybe I'll Pitch Forever is Paige's story in his own words. It is unadulterated Satchel, as pure as knee-high smoke over a book of matches.
Satchel Paige is an American icon. It's hard to imagine a more dramatic life than his--from troubled kid, to young Negro Leagues star, to world-famous entertainer, to pioneer of the Major Leagues--a daredevil, showman, athlete extraordinaire. Paige played on dozens of teams, threw hundreds of no hitters, and had thousands of wild adventures--many of which actually happened
Some legends assign men their proper place in history. Others distort or exaggerate their worth. And once in a while the legend falls short; the man is greater than his accumulated history and acclaim. One such man is Satchel Paige.
Maybe I'll Pitch Forever brings us up close to Satchel Paige. But part of him remains out of reach--evasive and enigmatic--a step ahead of the owners, the women, the opposition--inevitably beyond us. We will never fully grasp the legend or the man, never catch up to his fastball. In that way, Satchel Paige will pitch forever.
