- Courte biographie
- Satchel Paige's pitching and his showboating were legendary. His career highlights span five decades. Pronounced the greatest pitcher in the history of the Negro Leagues, Paige compiled such feats as 64 consecutive scoreless innings, a stretch of 21 straight wins, and a 31-4 record in 1933. His goal was to pitch in the Major Leagues and in 1948, his dream came true when he was signed by the Cleveland Indians. He also played for St. Louis and Kansas City. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971.
