Hello!

Satchel Paige was a black pitcher, member of the National Hall of Fame, who played for the public, he had a particular way of pitching that attracted fans and assured a good show.

When pitching in the Negro Leagues, he filled ballparks with white and black fans, proving that baseball fans only cared about the quality of the player and not about the color of his skin.
