Satchel Paige in to his windup with a high leg kick at Cleveland Municipal Stadium in 1948. In his 1948 season with Cleveland, he went 6-1 with a 2.48 ERA and helped the team win the American League pennant and the World Series, becoming the first African-American to pitch in a World Series game.

To think he did this all after the age of 42. July 7, 1906, Satchel Paige was born in Mobile, Alabama.🙌🏾
