Known for his incredible fastball, pinpoint control, and showmanship, Paige’s career spanned over five decades.
In 1948, at the age of 42, Paige broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier as a rookie with the Cleveland Indians, becoming the oldest debutant in MLB history. He later played for the St. Louis Browns and finished his major league career with the Kansas City Athletics in 1965 at the age of 59.
