Good job, Tom! I came to the internet to learn about Satchel Paige and I only had to watch one video!!! (well, split into 2, whatever....) It's so sad that prejudice kept him out of the big leagues during his prime, but I'm glad he got into the Hall of Fame anyway!
That was really great. It was too bad that he could not pitch against the Major-Leaguers. I can't wait for your next project and keep up the good work.
Satchel paige against babe Ruth; lou gehrig Jimmy Foxx; Charlie gehringer they would've ❤️ to play against 🌟 star negro league baseball against major league baseball players
Pitching for the Guayama Brujos (Witches) here in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Paige said he saw a ghost while on the mound, he stormed out of the grounds and never pitched again in that park. 😊⚾

Nice work. A bit of constructive criticism: Use your own voice when quoting. Of the greatest pitchers question, Sandy Koufax is often mentioned because of his dominant five years. Also, I was surprised that you did not mention Paige's three innings against the Red Sox at age 59 for the KC A's. Congrats on your awards and keep up the good work!
@baboomr2 oh don't worry about getting to this site 2 years later. that's the nice thing about internet immortality! I am homeschooled and in 11th grade this year, to answer the question as to my age and schooling.
for real, we can all do without the "country black guy " voice you used when quoting Paige . if you learned anything in your research ( of which you did a good job ), please know that because someone looks or sounds different than you it doesn't mean that they are less intelligent or to be made fun of - stupid men don't pitch over 2000 wins in the game of baseball .there is dignity and truth in the words and life of Satchel Paige that should be held closely by us all - as well as a ton of magic

Thanx for the criticism! I couldn't include everything I wanted to because there was a 10 minute limit for the history fair.
Excellent overall effort...best of luck on future works!
Thank you very much! That's awesome that your father knew Satchel Paige!
thanks for this terrific body of work.
Thank you very much! Wow, a whole class. I appreciate it.

Thank you . My father would quote Satchel Paige before I ever knew who he was.

My dad talked about Ruth and Satchel Paige as the greatest when I was a child.

Thank You..
Do you know if there is any extant video of Satchel Paige?
@kahlif79 I'm sorry you see it that way. this was a year ago, and I saw it as creativity not as a way to demean Satchel Paige's awesomeness.
@jcbwh thanx. I realized that about 6 months later

@baboomr2 Thank you very much! (although, of course, by now I'm almost 17 XD) I will definitely look into that book! Thanx!
