My family took a trip to the library this afternoon while I was working and, surprisingly, came home with this book on Satchel Paige (surprising only because they don’t typically show much interest in sports figures).

Gold, as expected. For an apparently ragtag collection of essays, there are some interesting themes that weave their way throughout this volume. I expect to return here often.
