Satchell Paige and my re-collections.

I was lucky to have seen Paige pitch in 1948, 1949 (Indians) and 1951-53 (St Louis Browns). I was a 10 year old kid
when "Satch" made a token appearance in the 1948 World Series. I still remember his windmill windup and remarkably
smooth release that belied the speed of his fast ball.

This 1949 LEAF is his 1st Major League card, it was issued in the Summer of '49. His 1948 pitching record of 6-1 with
an ERA of 2.47 is noted on the back of his card.

His 1949 Bowman card was issued in the Fall of '49.

Paige autographed this magazine photo in the early 1960's.
