Tuesday, September 6, Satch and Me. The first reason I picked this book was because my brother, Benja read a book in this series and recommended it to me. Another reason I chose this book was because it was short enough that I could read in the time given. My favorite characters were Stosh or Joey , Flip, and Satch. Stosh, a thirteen-year-old boy, was a time traveler and a little league player. Flip, a year-old man, was a baseball coach, a drug store owner, and a baseball player.

This time, his vintage baseball cards carry him and his elderly friend Flip Valentini to to use a radar gun to determine if Satchel Paige really threw the wickedest, speediest fastball in baseball history.

Gutman has again crafted a delightful mix of humor, magic and history surrounded by the sheer joy of baseball. There was a problem adding your email address.

The Cambridge Companion to Baseball in its review of baseball fiction calls the books "an eclectic enterprise" which "uninhibitedly embraces the genre's cliches.
