Satchel Paige photograph

Datecirca 1956

DescriptionA black-and-white, head and shoulders photograph of Satchel Paige dressed in an unidentified uniform. He is gazing off to his left, beyond the camera. The image caption on the front (not shown) reads, "8/14--Miami: Ageless Satchel Paige admits that 'baseball is just a job with me,' and what a job he's doing these days for the Miami Marlins in the International League. The one-time major-leaguer, who claims he's' only 50-years-old' but is probably closer to 55, just missed pitching a seven inning no-hit, no-run game 8/13 as the Marlins defeated the Rochester Red Wings, 4-0, in the opener of a doubleheader. Paige walked two men and struck out 3 in running his season record to 10 victories against 3 defeats."
