"When a batter swings and I see his knees move, I can tell just what his weaknesses are then I just put the ball where I know he can't hit it." ~ Satchel Paige
On August 3, 1948, the great Satchel Paige made his Major League debut for the Cleveland Indians. The Tribe were in need of some extra pitching for the pennant race. Bill Veeck signed Paige to a contract and he helped the Indians win the pennant. He finished his career with a modest 28-31 record and a 3.29 ERA. It's a shame he was not able to pitch in the majors during his prime.
