COLORADO HIGHLIGHTS! 🥎⛰️ My team had a great run in CO last week, finishing with a 6-2 record. I batted 0.565 with 2 2B’s, 3 HR’s, and 10 RBI’s. Thank you to all of the coaches who came out to see us play! @Cheetahs_Gel16u@ChiCheetahsOrg@TCSFastpitch@COSparkFire
@SydTurn2@wv_vipers Awesome to watch you become a true weapon on the field! Nothing better than listening to opposing coaches after you run down the line🤣.. so happy to have been around the whole Turner family these last few years!
One of the most prolific and legendary pitchers in history.
Satchel Paige was a spectacular fan favorite. His Hall of Fame plaque estimated that he “thrilled millions of people and won hundreds of games.”
After more than twenty years in the Negro Leagues, Paige joined Cleveland in 1948 as a 42-year-old “rookie” and helped lead them to the World Series championship. He went on to make two All-Star teams with St. Louis in 1952 and ‘53, and he made a memorable appearance with the A’s in 1965, throwing 3 scoreless innings at age 59.
In 1971 Paige became the first star who played predominantly in the Negro Leagues to be elected to Cooperstown. #BlackHistoryMonth
