"The original headstone from Satchel Paige’s grave at Forest Hills Cemetary is in the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Instead of a year of birth it says only “?”. In addition to wondering what Satchel could have done if he had the opportunity to play in the majors in his prime, I question whether he would have had the chance if they had known his actual age. . . . The fun part is learning the stories of the players that inspire the questions and making a case for your own answers. These are some great stories; no question about that."
