More quotes by Satchel Paige
I was born in August, no July, 1908.
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
I got a curve so sneaky it might be your daddy.
Satchel Paige
If your stomach disputes you, lie down and pacify it with cool thoughts.

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.

Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
Satchel Paige
Sometimes I sit and think and other times I just sit.
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 ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.
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 may not be the bestest pitcher in the world, but I sure out-cutes 'em.
Satchel Paige
Avoid running at all times.
Satchel Paige
My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.
Satchel Paige
Airplanes may kill you, but they ain't likely to hurt you.
