  • Summary

  • According to legendary Negro Leagues pitcher Satchel Paige, Cool Papa Belll was so fast, he once hit a line drive up the middle, that hit him in the ass, when he was sliding into second base. This week we do a case study on the great speedster. Just the mere mention of his name, would conjur up, many fantastical stories, by teammates and opponents alike, about his blazing speed. Some true, some no doubt exagerated. This week we examine the man, the myth, the legend, and try to distinguish between reality and the apocryphal. #JameNichols #StarkvilleMississippi #StLouis #StLouisStars #HomesteadGrays #PittsburghCrawfords #JudyJohnson #JoshGibson #OscarCharleston #BuckLeonard #SatchelPaige #ComptonHillsCubs #BillGatewood #MulesSuttles #CienfuegoElefantes #BirminghamBlackBarons #GusGreenlee #SamBankhead EastWestAllStarGame #ClaraBell #RafaelTrujillo #WendellSmith #MonteIrvin
