upnorthtrips: COOL GRAYS UNT archive is forever historical. Currently reading the biography of Satchel Paige, which is oddly enough more accurate than Satchel’s two autobiographies as he was legendary in fudging facts as he was throwing heat past batters. Josh Gibson was Satchel’s teammate for most of his early career while barnstorming and with the Negro Leagues. If you ever have the time, check out Josh’s stats. Would have easily been what Babe Ruth was in terms of revered athletes if not for segregation in the U.S.
