Satchel Paige

Today in August 13th 1949 With the fall of the color line, "Satchel Paige" finally made it to big leagues with the Cleveland Indians,best pitcher ever to grace the game (He won the triple crown in 32', 33', 34', and 36). Negro Leagues 1926-1947 It is estimated that Paige pitched 2,600 games, 300 shutouts and 55 no-hitters.He also play for American teams in the minor, major and Negro leagues.He play for baseball teams in places like Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Canada and he joined A Dominican Republic Team “Los Dragones,” a team owned by Rafael Trujillo. It’s pretty incredible that Paige pitched a shutout in over 15% of the games he started,Paige did not commit a single error in 179 major league games. He made up names for his pitches,only a brother can add a cool factor to the game.He seems to be a great man who loved to play and enjoy the game.He had to deal with the racial injustice on this stolen land.
