Satchel Paige

Baseball cards

In The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading and Bubble Gum Book, by Brendan C. Boyd and Fred C. Harris, 1973, a Satchel Paige baseball card is shown, along with some comments about what "might have been" for Paige without the color barrier, which at that point had only been down for a little over 25 years. The comments conclude with the editorial admonition, "Don't look back, America -- something might be gaining on you."
