Leroy Robert Paige not only was one of the best players to master the art of pitching but also left behind a long lasting legacy to the sport of baseball. Paige was born in Mobile, Alabama on July 7th, 1906, and was the seventh child of twelve. Paige began working at an early age as a porter and baggage carrier in the railway business. While working one afternoon he found a long stick that he was able to manipulate into a system of carrying more luggage at time. Watching him, his co-workers said that he looked like a walking satchel tree, that moment dawned him his popularly known nickname “Satchel”. Satchel made his professional pitching debut with the Birmingham Black Barons in 1927 as a twenty year old, forgoing traditional pitch names such as fastball and curveball, Paige would be the author of his own names such as, Wobbly-ball, Bat Dodger, and his favorite pitch best describing his accuracy and arm strength, Bee-Ball after batters reportedly saying that the ball had a humm to it when it flew by them similar to a bee.

Leroy Robert Paige was born somewhere around July 7, what we believe to have been 1906 in Mobile, Alabama. Leroy started off scouring local alleyways and cashing in the empty bottles he’d find on the street. His mother sent him to earn money as a child carrying luggage for businessmen at the local train station to the nearby hotels, where he earned the nickname "Satchel". At the Alabama Reform School for Juvenile Negro Law-Breakers in Mount Meigs, Alabama, Satchel would learn and develop the skills necessary to be a baseball player. Satchel would go on to later say: “You might say I traded five years of freedom to learn how to pitch.” Because of the deals Major League teams had in place, black players began to form their own professional leagues and teams in the late 1880s. After leaving the reform school, Satchel Paige would return home and join the black semi-professional Mobile Tigers. At this time, Satchel would say, “I gave up kid’s baseball – baseball just for fun – and started baseball as a...

Satchel Paige threw his first pitch in professional baseball in 1926 for the Chattanooga White Sox, an inappropriately-named team in the lower levels of the segregated Negro Leagues. He played his last game in organized baseball in 1966 — a full 40 years later — for a Virginia club called the Peninsula Grays. In between, the Hall of Famer pitched more baseballs, in more ballparks, for more teams, than any player in history. It also is safe to say that no pitcher ever threw at a higher level, for longer, than the ageless right-hander with the whimsical nickname.
