Rookie Era 1948-49 Satchel Paige Cleveland Indians Original TYPE I Photo PSA/DNA
|
Satchel Paige (D. 1982) 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 the 1930s, the well-traveled pitcher barnstormed around the continent, baffling hitters with creatively named pitches such as the Bat Dodger and Hesitation Pitch. In 1948, he was sold to Cleveland on his 42nd birthday, becoming the oldest rookie in the Major Leagues while helping the Indians win the pennant.
Offered is a gorgeous original TYPE I Photograph that measures 5 1/8 x 7 inches printed on period Velox paper. Great shot of Satch standing in front of the water fountain in the dugout. There’s a kid holding a program on top of the dugout waiting to get an autograph from Paige.
One of a kind!
