Satchel Paige inspired us all,
He played a great game of baseball.
He threw the ball across the plate,
But looked as if he hardly ate.

Paige was a tall skinny man,
He took his time and never ran.
In one game there were many shouts,
Because of his 24 strikeouts.

Many records he broke,
And cracked many a joke.
People filled the seats,
To see other players be beat.

Satchel Paige was a great man,
Who had more than one fan.
We'll remember his name,
As he goes down forever in fame.
