We arrived early because Dad wanted to see batting practice and walk around the park. He told me he had something special he wanted me to see.\u00a0 He took me down to the Browns bullpen area in left field and I saw something I wasn\u2019t expecting to see.\u00a0 There was an African-American ball player leaning back in a big backyard lounge chair.\u00a0 As we got near, Dad said, \u201cThere he is son\u2026that\u2019s Satchel Paige.\u00a0 He\u2019s one of the greatest pitchers the Major Leagues has ever seen.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It was in the late spring of 1959 in Barlow, Kentucky.\u00a0 Word got around that an All Star Team was being formed to play against Satchel Paige and a team of Cubans. I was chosen to play 2nd base and batted 5th.\u00a0 Satchel was pitching and they got us out 1-2-3 in the first inning.\u00a0 The 2nd inning they scored a couple of runs and then we came up to bat.\u00a0 I had never batted against a man who played in the majors and I had never batted against a Negro pitcher.\u00a0 I noticed that it didn\u2019t look like he was all that fast but his \u201cmotion\u201d was hard to read.\u00a0 I walked up to the plate (I was left handed) and dug in.\u00a0 Four pitches later, I struck out.\u00a0 I remember ridding home in the truck that night with my Dad.\u00a0 I was down because we got beat and also because I had struck out.\u00a0\u00a0 After a long silence, my Dad turned to me and said, \u201cSon I\u2019m so proud of you\u2026you were struck out by one of the greatest pitchers the Major Leagues has ever seen&#8212;the great Satchel Paige.\u201d"}
