Product Information
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. The odds were stacked against the less-experienced black team. But Paige's skillful batting and amazing pitching--with his "trouble ball" and "bat dodger"-- kept the game close. Would the rookie DiMaggio prove himself as major league player? Or would Paige once again prove his greatness--and the injustice of segregated baseball?

Reviews
"Paige, a black baseball player who was a renowned pitcher well before the days of Jackie Robinson, wasn't permitted to play in the major leagues. But his reputation was such that when the Yankees wanted to test the mettle of a rookie named Joe DiMaggio, they arranged for him to play against the Satchel Paige All-Stars. Cooper's grainy illustrations look as though they are filtered through sunlight, striking a nostalgic chord, while Skead's play-by-play ('This was DiMaggio's last chance to past the test. His heart raced as he looked for Satchel's release point and the ball coming like a bullet on fire') provides a riveting, baseball story about two players seeking recognition of their worth." --Publishers Weekly, "In 1936, Joe DiMaggio was an untried baseball player. The New York Yankees wanted to sign him, but how could they be sure he'd live up to his hype? Enter Satchel Paige, a world-class pitcher who was unable to play in the big leagues because he was black. A game was arranged between Paige and his team of African Americans and an off-season team of Major Leaguers to see if DiMaggio could hold his own against Paige. This picture book's account of this little-known incident gets off to a good start but becomes long and windy. In addition, Cooper's illustrations are watery and thin, though they do capture the game-time rivalry, especially in the expressions on the vet's and the rookie's faces. Still, this centers on a fascinating event, one that points up the racial injustice at the time; at the same time, it makes readers care about both players, and may leave kids wanting to learn more about Paige, DiMaggio, the Negro Leagues, and the integration of baseball." --Booklist, "In 1936, the Yankee's general manager wanted to test a new prospect named Joe DiMaggio. During the era of segregated baseball, Satchel Paige, the best pitcher in the Negro Leagues, was asked to face off against a team of white major leaguers, which included DiMaggio. The author builds suspense with dazzling descriptions of Paige's 'wobbly ball' and 'windmill wind-up' that even nonbaseball fans will appreciate. Cooper's signature artistic style is grainy in appearance and is more muted than that in Willie and the All-Stars (Philomel, 2008). The brown palette is similar to his art in Heather Lang's Queen of the Track (Boyds Mills, 2012), the action-filled poses are consistently dramatic, and the portraiture is outstanding. Use this memorable title for fans of the game, for Black History month, or for any discussion on segregated life in the United States." --School Library Journal, "This book recreates the drama when rookie Joe DiMaggio and legendary pitcher Satchel Paige faced off at the ballpark in Oakland, California. While baseball fans will know the names of these two famous players, the concepts of segregated baseball teams and Negro Leagues may be unfamiliar to young readers. The detailed illustrations mirror Skead's play-by-play description. Each page builds anticipation as Skead leads readers through an exciting afternoon of baseball using vivid adjectives and descriptive language while also addressing some of the nation's more troubling history. The layout offers a nice balance between text and illustration. All readers will be mesmerized by the detail and expression of Cooper's images that capture the period of the 1930s and the figures. The author's note and selected bibliography provide an extension to the text; discussion questions and lesson plan ideas are available from the publisher's website." --Library Media Connection, "Paige, a black baseball player who was a renowned pitcher well before the days of Jackie Robinson, wasn't permitted to play in the major leagues. But his reputation was such that when the Yankees wanted to test the mettle of a rookie named Joe DiMaggio, they arranged for him to play against the Satchel Paige All-Stars.

His heart raced as he looked for Satchel's release point and the ball coming like a bullet on fire') provides a riveting, baseball story about two players seeking recognition of their worth."--Publishers Weekly, "A little-known episode in the careers of two baseball giants highlights the racial divide in the game. In 1936, pitcher Satchel Paige was already a veteran hero in Negro League baseball, while Joe DiMaggio was a hot, young prospect under consideration by the New York Yankees. Yankee management's plan was to have DiMaggio bat against Paige in a game between white and black barnstorming teams as a test of his ability to hit the best of the best. DiMaggio managed only an infield hit off Paige, but it was enough to prove himself to the Yankees. Skead details the events of the game with an air of excitement and expectancy, keying in on both men's strategies and thoughts; Joe tells himself to keep his eye on the ball, and Satchel decides to throw his 'wobbly ball' or his 'whipsey dipsey do.' Underlying the narrative is sadness that DiMaggio would go on to an enormous career with the Yankees, while Satchel Paige, who had proven himself one of the greatest pitchers of all time, would not play for a major league team until he was over 40 years old. Cooper's soft-edged brown, amber and green illustrations lovingly depict the action and emotions called forth in the text. A loving tribute to Satchel Paige, who never looked back in anger." --starred, Kirkus Reviews, "This book recreates the drama when rookie Joe DiMaggio and legendary pitcher Satchel Paige faced off at the ballpark in Oakland, California. While baseball fans will know the names of these two famous players, the concepts of segregated baseball teams and Negro Leagues may be unfamiliar to young readers.

The author's note and selected bibliography provide an extension to the text; discussion questions and lesson plan ideas are available from the publisher's website." Library Media Connection, "In 1936, two baseball players had something to prove. Was twenty-one-year-old Joe DiMaggio ready for the Major Leagues? Should Satchel Paige, pitching great in the Negro Leagues, be playing in the Majors? After all, Paige 'threw fire,' and baffled batters said that 'the balls he pitched looked like marbles or bullets.' As a test, a game was set up between the barnstorming team Dick Bartell's All Stars (a group of major league players plus DiMaggio) and the Satchel Paige All-Stars. The first time up, DiMaggio nervously faced the great Satchel, and was hit by a pitch. In his second at-bat, he grounded out, as he did the third time up. In his fourth at-bat, he smacked a shot over Satch's head that was caught by the center fielder. The game went to extra innings, and both players did indeed prove themselves worthy. DiMaggio joined the Yankees right away, but it was twelve years before Satchel Paige broke the color barrier, a year after Jackie Robinson. Skead effectively uses a little-known baseball episode to portray larger issues of race and justice in America, while superbly developing the game's tension inning by inning. Grainy brown-toned illustrations nicely evoke the dreamy reminiscences of baseball legend, and frequent changes of perspective keep the story from becoming static. An engaging look at two baseball greats who eventually made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame. An author's note and brief bibliography are included." --The Horn Book Magazine, Skead, Robert. Something to Prove: The Great Satchel Paige vs. Rookie Joe DiMaggio In 1936, the New York Yankees asked Negro Leagues pitcher Satchel Paige to test a rookie player, Joe DiMaggio. The contest, which resulted in DiMaggio being brought up to the majors, demonstrated Paige's consummate skill and the underlying unfairness of separate Negro Leagues.
