Paul Dean overcame abject poverty to become one of the most famous men in America. He went from picking cotton alongside poor blacks and other migrant workers to dining with Hollywood stars, politicians, and Captains of Industry. Baseball in the 1930's was rife with racism, brawling, boozing, cursing, and gambling. In that turbulent decade Paul Dean played with and against some of the greatest players in history, both white and black. White players - Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Pepper Martin, Frankie Frisch on Major League diamonds. Black players - Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, "Cool Papa" Bell on barnstorming tours. By age 21 Paul had pitched a no-hitter and won a World Series Championship as a member of the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals, forever after known as the Gashouse Gang. This book tells his story.
