Extremely rare batting pose of the aged Negro Leaguer who was technically a 42 year old Major League rookie Satchel Paige as he trades the pitching mound for a bat and a few hacks during a home game in Cleveland. Images of Paige from his time with the Indians are extremely tough to find and this one might be from his Major League Debut! Nice Cleveland News stamps on back to go with the 1948 file stamps from the photographer. Photo is in nice shape and could be from one of the most important days in baseball history.
