Satchel Paige was forty-two years old in 1948 when he became the
first black pitcher in the American League. Although the oldest
rookie around, he was already a legend. For twenty-two years,
beginning in 1926, Paige dazzled throngs with his performance in
the Negro Baseball Leagues. Then he outlasted everyone by playing
professional baseball, in and out of the majors, until 1965.
Struggle--against early poverty and racial discrimination--was part
of Paige's story. So was fast living and a humorous point of view.
His immortal advice was "Don't look back. Something might be
gaining on you."
