Praise for this book
"Captivating. Brashler writes in a low-keyed tone that catches the highs and lows of some bad old days."--New York Times Book Review
"Inspired by hours-long tapes of conversations with Cool Papa Bell and Satchel Paige, Brashler has recreated singular scenes of that little-publicized lifestyle. To embellish his story he has fashioned a unique dialogue that is bawdy and delightful."--Chicago Sun-Times
