According to the Hall of Fame website, the late Satchel Paige was born on July 7, 1906. He died in 1982.
Besides pitching, Satchel was well known for what he said. In this respect, he is a lot like Yogi Berra, the other great baseball philosopher.

My two favorite favorite lines are:
"Don't pray when it rains if you don't pray when the sun shines."We could use a few characters like Satchel in baseball today.
"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you."
