Have you ever wondered who pitched the fastest baseball? 

Well, in this book Josh Stoshack (Stosh) and Flip Valentini travel back in time to see if Leroy Satchel Paige (Satch), who is claimed to have pitched the fastest, actually pitched as fast as it is rumored. 

But, traveling through time is quite dangerous because who knows what could go wrong and as Stosh says in the book “I have a nasty habit of attracting gunfire in my direction.”
