Something to prove : the great Satchel Paige vs. rookie Joe DiMaggio

Skead, Robert (Author). Cooper, Floyd, (ill.).

Summary: In 1936, the New York Yankees wanted to test a hot prospect named Joe DiMaggio to see if he was ready for the big leagues. They knew just the ballplayer to call, Satchel Paige, the best pitcher anywhere, black or white. For the game, Paige joined a group of amateur African-American players, and they faced off against a team of white major leaguers plus young DiMaggio.
