More quotes by Satchel Paige
Baseball is the most perfect of games, solid, true, pure and precious as diamonds. If only life were so simple. Within the baselines anything can happen. Tides can reverse oceans can open. That's why they say, we don't stop playing because we get old. We get old because we stop playing.

Satchel Paige
If you tell a lie, always rehearse it. If it don't sound good to you, it won't sound good to anybody.
Satchel Paige
I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
Satchel Paige
I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.
Satchel Paige
If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.
Satchel Paige
I use my single windup, my double windup, my triple windup, my hesitation windup, my no windup. I also use my step-n-pitch-it, my submariner, my sidearmer and my bat dodger. Man's got to do what he's got to do.
Satchel Paige
My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
