(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Rich Tommaso. Narrator Emmet Wilson describes his time in the Negro Leagues and its highlight: scoring against Satchel Paige. Wilson is a sharecropper, and this graphic novel is as much about segregation in the American South during the early- to mid-twentieth century as it is about baseball. The story is a concise and engaging introduction to many topics surrounding Jim Crow laws.
