I've said it once and I'll say it a a hundred times, I'm forty-four years old.

More from Satchel Paige

  1. I use my single windup, my double windup, my triple windup, my hesitation windup, my no windup. I also use my step-n-pitch-it, my submarine…
  2. If a man can beat you, walk him.
  3. I never threw an illegal pitch. The trouble is, once in a while I toss one that ain't never been seen by this generation.
  4. It's funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.
  5. I never rush myself. See, they can't start the game without me.
  6. It's not what you don't know that hurts you. It's what you know that just ain't so.
  7. I don't generally like running. I believe in training by rising gently up and down from the bench.
  8. Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.
