Satchel Paige
I ain't ever had a job, I just always played baseball.
Satchel Paige
Money and women. They're two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn't do for anything else. Same with money.
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.
