Baseball signed: "Satchel Paige" Rawlings Official Ball American League Lee Mac Phail Pres. Signed Paige in Black Ink. Leroy "Satchel" Paige was a legendary storyteller and one of the most entertaining pitchers in baseball history. A tall, lanky fireballer, he was arguably the Negro leagues' hardest thrower, most colorful character and greatest gate attraction.

In 1948 he was sold to Cleveland on his 42nd birthday, becoming the oldest player to make his major league debut, while helping the Indians win the pennant. Toning or Else Good to Good Plus Condition. Mounted in a Wood and Plastic Ball Holder with Plaque Reading "Satchel Paige Hall of Fame" Shipping $10.00 (estimate $100-$200)
