Satchel Paige
Satchel Paige
was a legendary African-American baseball player. His real name was Leroy
Robert Paige and he earned the nickname ‘Satchel’ when he used a pole for
carrying additional bags while he worked as a porter in a railway station. As a
victim of racism, he had the chance to play for Major League Baseball only for
five years and made his appearance only once in the World Cup Series. He was a
right-handed pitcher who was known for his fastballs and curveballs. An arm
injury made him develop a special pitching style called ‘hesitation pitch’, an
experiment that resulted out of aiming for different arm angles. He was the
oldest man to have made his debut in the major National League. He made a
record as the first Negro pitcher in the American League and the seventh Negro
big leaguer overall. His baseball skills, professionalism, accuracy, speed and
commitment won him the adulation of fans from around the world. He claimed that
he had played 2,500 matches and won nearly 2,000 of them. He was considered a
great sportsman who proved that age could never be a barrier for success.
Regarding the tireless dispute over his age and skill, he used to quote Mark
Twain’s words, "Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind,
it doesn't matter."
Childhood & Early Life
· Leroy Robert
Page who later became Leroy Robert Satchel Paige was the seventh of the twelve
children born to John Page and Lula Coleman Page.
· The family
lived in poverty, a fact which he mentioned in his biography, ‘Maybe I'll Pitch
Forever’ where he had mentioned, ‘We played in the dirt because we didn’t have
toys. We threw rocks. There wasn’t anything else to throw.’
· To lend
monetary support to his family, he did a number of odd jobs like selling the
empty bottles he picked up and as a porter at the Mobile’s Louisville &
Nashville’s railway station.
· He skipped his
classes to play baseball and to fish in Mobile Bay.
· His pitching
skills were chiseled by Edward Byrd while he was under a five year-detention
period in the Industrial School for Juvenile Negro Lawbreakers on charges of
stealing toy rings from a store. He came out of the school in 1923, six months
before the end of his term.
