the great Satchel Paige vs. rookie Joe DiMaggio

Summary

In 1936, the New York Yankees wanted to test hot prospect Joe DiMaggio for the big leagues, putting him up against Satchel Paige, the best pitcher anywhere, black or white. Would DiMaggio prove himself as a major league player? Or would Paige once again prove his greatness-and the injustice of segregated baseball?
