Leroy Satchel Paige was a man of many words--boastful, brash, bitter, wise.
In that way, Satchel Paige will Pitch forever..
We will never fully grasp the legend or the man, never catch up to his fastball.
But part of him remains out of reach--evasive and enigmatic--a step ahead of the owners, the women, the opposition--inevitably beyond us.
Maybe I\'ll Pitch Forever brings us up close to Satchel Paige.
One such man is Satchel Paige.
And once in a while the legend falls short; the man is greater than his accumulated history and acclaim.
Others distort or exaggerate their worth.
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.
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.
Satchel Paige is an American icon.
It is unadulterated Satchel, as pure as knee-high smoke over a book of matches.
Maybe I\'ll Pitch Forever is Paige\'s story in his own words.
