Talk:Satchel Paige

Paige's notebook
Paige kept records of his own stats, which (according Paige biographer Larry Tye) appear to be quite accurate.

These notes, and their significance, should at least be mentioned in the article. Zazpot (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 08:57, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

First 'black-owned' baseball field?
Not able to edit Semi-protected yet so... Greenlee Field of the Pittsburgh Crawfords may have not been the first 'black owned' ballfield. "Monrovian Park" Opened June 3, 1922 at 12th and Moseley, Wichita, Kansas as a large community event. “Colored Western League Opened and Tulsa Lost,” Wichita Beacon, 4 June 1922 In 1922, Wichita lawyer/activist, JM Booker, and owner of the black ball club, "The Black Wonders" made effort to join the CWL or Coloured Western League (founded by blackball great Joe Johnson, western league to rival the popular ECL and NNL) as the "Wichita Monrovians" (but only played one season, 52-8). JM Booker, who served as president, formed an 'all-black' ownership charter, and incorporated the 'Monrovian Corporation,' later naming it the "Monrovian Park Association' in order to create the ballpark. "one of the first colored corporations in the west to own a ballclub with their own ballpark." “Monrovians Get Charter,” Negro Star, 11 August 1922 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aaronkleiber (talk • contribs) 14:31, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
