HPL Book Fest—Simulating Satchel: A Baseball What If with Author John Graf

  • The Carriage House at RCHS 450 North Jackson Street Janesville, WI, 53548 (map)

What if Major League Baseball had been integrated 13 years before Jackie Robinson broke the color line? John Graf draws on his book Simulating Satchel to imagine how Satchel Paige and nearly 100 Negro Leagues stars might have changed the 1934 season – blending real history with a data-driven simulation that sheds new light on baseball, race, and America.

Hedberg Public Library’s Book Fest 2026.
