Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
A portrait of the Negro League pitcher evaluates the role of discrimination in limiting his career, covering such topics as his near-defeat of a young Joe DiMaggio, the Jim Crow biases that prevented his signing with the big leagues until he was in his forties, and his lasting legacy.
Review:
"Read it if you love baseball and want to find out more about one of its true heroes. Read it equally if you want to learn how Jim Crow robbed a baseball great of his true place in the game."
Andy Geller, New York Post, 06/07/2009
Review:"It would probably be difficult to write a boring book about Satchel Paige, and Tye certainly has not done so. Through exhaustive research, interviews, and correspondence with more than 350 people, he has surely given us a definitive account of the man and of the player."
Rob Klugman, Philadelphia Inquirer, 06/14/2009
