Beautiful image.
Can you clarify a bit of info on it?
The back of the photo reads:
"Satchel Paige 1948
On mound at Comiskey Park, Chicago
appearing for first time
one mound for leveland Indians"
- Paige's MLB debut was in relief at home against the Browns on 7/9.
- His first start was at home against Washintgon on 8/3
- His first appearance against Chicago (at Comiskey) was 8/13. That game had 51,013 fans according to Baseball Reference.
Is the latter the game that you assume this photo is from? (That would be my leaning as well, but it would not be his first MLB start and would not be from July, but from August.
Still a stunning photo
