Author Larry Tye's newest book "Satchel - The Life and Times of an American Legend" will be on the shelves June 9th. Of the many reviews and promos is an expanded interview which was on Monday's edition of NPR's Fresh Air. Host Dave Davies does a great job framing the interview and allows Tye to go in depth about the life of Paige. The interview is just under 45 minutes long but it is more than just a "book promo"; it's a history lesson on the racial climate of America during the first half of the 20th century.  I am envious of AHP's Rich Coreno; he got to read the book prior to its release for his May 17th review. Regardless, this book is picking up steam so take an hour and check our Tye's NPR interview.
