"I don't think you could call this gentleman anything else"... Respect and class. Well said sir

Awesome

I was going to reply to that very line !! Thank you! :)

[@ernestparker7261]

I’m glad the audience gave him the love he deserved

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Mr Bruner's answer in 1:34 is one of the most beautiful lines I've ever heard , so correct, on the spot, Mr Paige was a Champion in the whole sense of the word.

[@oughtssought1198]

a treat to see the GREAT Satchel Paige get so enthusiastic a reception

[@rustyshakleford217]

This is unbelievably amazing. Satchel Paige is by far the greatest pitcher, and the most dominant player of his game of all time. The GOAT

[@robertl.fallin7062]

Called Whitby Herzog "wild child" ... great story from VINNY about Satch, a baseball sized hole in a fence with a 10k bounty for a fly ball hit Thu the hole. Priceless story about great ball players by VINNY... while doing the play by play.!

Wally's comment at 1:35.....beautiful!

[@TheBatugan77]

Yessir!

[@acousticshadow4032]

What I would not give to have seen Satchel pitch in his prime. Baseball ambassador extraordinaire, Buck O'Neil, told some great Satchel stories in Ken Burns' documentary, "Baseball". Striking out Josh Gibson on 3 pitches is my favorite.

[@janso7979]

Amazing that Paige was 65 in this clip. He had some sort of mutant youthfulness gene in him.

[@tonyapendleton7467]

Damn really?

[@janso7979]

@@tonyapendleton7467 Actually, i just checked again, and he was only 64. He was born 7/7/06 and this aired on 2/11/71.

@@janso7979 and it was only 5 years after his last appearance in MLB!

[@janso7979]

@@grahamstrouse1165 Interesting, I hadn't known that Paige pitched that one game in 1965. It was obviously a publicity stunt, considering that he hadn't otherwise pitched since 1953, but I still have to give it to him for throwing three scoreless innings.

[@JStarStar00]

@@janso7979 He had continually been pitching for barnstorming teams in the interim so it wasn't like he had to remember how to grip the ball.

[@willmoore8708]

Oh, to have a time machine, and watch this giant of a man pitch just one game. That would be awesome!!! I went to Cooperstown, for Clemente's induction and remember his plaque being pointed out by my father, telling me this man was the greatest and most outrageous pitcher there ever was.

[@stevestringer7351]

Man! Now, that was a legend in his own time! I am sorry he was held back from competition in MLB for so long. However, at least he did get his day in the sun.... there were many that went before him that NEVER realized the dream of playing in the MLB. Now, if Mr Paige had never been able to play in the majors..... that would TRULY be a shame! RIP Mr. Paige.... he was an inspiration for us all.

[@sharone.langley2923]

I thought it was very interesting that Arlene Dahl guessed his identity and that she'd recently read about him. Respect. I was pleased that he was treated with respect and recognition on this segment. Excellent. He deserved it all.

[@mazs1123]

Arlene Francis--not Dahl

[@TheBatugan77]

Arlene was a genuine baseball fan. She was a NYG fan before they moved, and loved Willie Mays...as we all did.

[@MrRichDavid]

Paige quote: "You might not ever win them over but if you hang around long enough you may wear them out!"

[@PlayerToBeNamedLater1973]

He could throw hard but most of the comments about Paige by his peers were about his control and ability to hit spots in all parts of the zone. He was smart and he knew how to pitch but his execution was what hitters remember.

[@francesnorred944]

1) I have ONly seen Satchel in films And in documentaries. 2) THis was the first time I Ever Saw him in person OR heard his voice. 3) I canNOT SAY just How Much I was able/LOVED to Find This video....

[@josephmcfarland8442]

Was on The Game of the Week in the early 70's, Dizzy Dean as well

[@Pwjdak]

I saw him pitch in Williston, North Dakota in ‘60 or ‘61. He was barnstorming with a team and played guys from town (some former minor leaguers and some local athletes). One of the local players was teenage Phil Jackson (you should recognize that name). I still remember the loudness of his pitches hitting the catcher’s glove.

[@jamesanthony5681]

How did Jackson do against Satchel?

[@Pwjdak]

If I recall correctly nobody got a hit. I do remember in one inning he waived in the outfielders and pithed with only a first and third baseman.

[@Hamburger247]

Foundational Black Americans you are GREAT!

[@musicartlover963]

Handsome and poised

[@EtzEchad]

This is the greatest pitcher of all time. It's a tragedy that they didn't allow him in MLB until so late in his career.

[@TheBatugan77]

Met him in Cooperstown in 1974.

[@ACD1994]

Satchel Paige was an amazing pitcher. I would love to see a biopic on the life and career of Satchel.

[@xman777b]

No way there's a baseball Mount Rushmore, without him on it

[@docnoc66]

I luved him and Tom Seaver as a boy-I also met and had a nice talk with Ted Radcliffe about him at a card show in the 1980s

[@pmccservices]

He was also a mystery guest on Sports Challenge. At one point he turned his head, a panelist saw the shadow of his glasses, and that led to the correct identification.

[@nicholasschroeder3678]

When he got elected to the Hall, they were going to put his plack in a separate corridor. No kidding. There was an uproar, and they thought better of it. He once had a 2-1 lead with the bases loaded, no outs, bottom of the 9th. He called in the outfielders to the infield. Struck out the rest of the side.

[@joeblow7407]

Leroy Page....perhaps the GREATEST pitcher who ever lived!!!

[@luishumbertovega3900]

You are correct, Page was his original last name, until his father added the I in the center, to make it different.

[@TheBatugan77]

"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."

[@ThekiBoran]

Damn he looks fantastic. He must be about 65 here

[@stevewallace1117]

My grandfather pitched against Mr. Paige and they were friends, despite being different races.

[@bunnyoneful]

If I had a dime for every time my daddy talked about Satchel Paige.....I'd be rich. I have been wanting to see what he looked like. Miss you Daddy. Now you and Satchel can play ball!!

Kinda looks like Michael Irvin.

[@riverview9320]

Way to go Arlene!

[@ThekiBoran]

It's not possible to pitch 9 innings every day. It is possible to pitch 2 or 3 innings every day.

[@whitneymacdonald4396]

Unless you're Satchel Page. Read your history. He'd pitch every day for weeks at a time while barnstorming. Pitch both games of a double header or one game in one town and another in another town on the same day. It's literally unbelievable how he did it, but he did.

[@ThekiBoran]

@@whitneymacdonald4396 Tall tales. Fun to talk about but unless you have score cards it didn't happen.

[@annettemalaski1967]

Yes! It is possible. Check the MLB record for innings pitched in a season. It was established in the ninteenth century.

[@ThekiBoran]

[@Vitte4]

Satchel loves to mess with the facts -- to wit here: He cites that his first Major League game was in '42 (3:50). HA! Just six years off ... A true legend -- and representative of the great shame MLB Commissionar Kenesaw Mountain Landis brought down on the game by colluding with the owners to keep blacks out of the Majors.

[@keithsmith4780]

The history of the game was cheated by the separation of players according to race. Nobody ever saw Satchel Paige pitch to Williams or DiMaggio or Musial. We don’t remember the great Satchel Paige v. Bob Feller pitching duels because they were never allowed to happen.

[@rick419]

Satchel played against the Dizzy Deal all stars one a barnstorming tour and more than held his own.
