Baseball Week: Satchel Paige Was So Good He Could Still Get Batters Out In His Late 50s

Cool Weird Awesome with Brady Carlson

This week we're replaying some of our favorite episodes about the old ball game. In this episode from July 2020, we celebrate Leroy "Satchel" Paige, perhaps the most legendary pitcher baseball ever saw. Paige was a star for decades, and once pitched three scoreless innings in the major leagues at age 59. Plus: we'll visit the man who earned the world's first degree in ninja studies.
