Satchel Paige

This book is all about a kid who wants to fulfil his dream to be a baseball player and pay for his family. When he goes to the Arena he finally meets Satchel Paige a joker at first but when the boy hits the ball its a foul, the next person comes up the boy runs to safe but broke his foot and couldn't play ever again and teaches his boy what he had done and what Satchel Paige did for him.

A connection I have with the boy is that he never gives up his dream and that what everybody wants from him, like me how I want to be a chef so I cook with my mom learning new recipes and when I get older that I will be a chef and learn new techniques.

My reaction of Satchel Paige is surprised because how he takes his time doing it right, and making the ball player get a grip. He teaches all the blacks that all the white people are not better than anybody.
