“They said I was the greatest pitcher they ever saw…” baseball great Satchel Paige recalled the year he died.
The renowned pitcher had a long career playing for Negro League teams from 1926 through 1947. Before Major League Baseball’s color barrier broke, the exclusion of African Americans from major league baseball reflected racial segregation across the United States. The Negro Leagues offered African Americans the opportunity to play ball.
In 1948, Paige joined Major League Baseball when he was signed mid-season by the Cleveland Indians. At age 42, the newest Indian was one of the oldest “rookies” in Major League history. He went on to be a two-time All-Star and Hall of Fame inductee.
