Satchel Paige 1973 Baseball Hall of Fame Weekend Original TYPE 1 Photo PSA/DNA

1982 was a legendary storyteller and one of the most entertaining pitchers in baseball history. A tall, lanky fire baller, 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. Offered is a gorgeous original TYPE 1 snapshot photo that measures 3-1/2" x 4-7/8" in size. This photo was taken in Cooperstown during the Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Weekend from the mid - 1970s.

Finding original photos of Negro Leaguers pre-1980 are seldom seen. Period Kodak markings on the back of the photo. Encapsulated as a TYPE 1 original photo by PSA/DNA.
