You have done a just examination and review of Paige's life and thought. Your narrative has layers upon layers of research and comes together in a story that matters to a biography and sustains Paige's achievements. In 1989, I remember reading in my ninth-grade reader a poem titled "To Satch," which led me to read more about Leroy Paige. That's still one of my favorite poems. I look forward to reading your biography in its entirety later this month. Thank you for capturing Paige's baseball achievements and music with words. Yours is already a home run for baseball fans and readers. Cheers! R. Joseph Rodriguez Good morning, Larry Tye.
