Item Description
Presented here is an exceedingly rare early career image of Negro League baseball all-time great, Satchel Paige (far left) along w/his 1937 Ciudad Trujillo teammates (L-R): Robert Griffith, Rudolfo Fernandez and Leroy Matlock. This powerhouse team was hand-picked by dictator, Rafael Trujillo, to overwhelm the competition from the Dominican Baseball League during the 1937 season. The stacked ball club would go on to win the Caribbean Series championship that season, defeating another outstanding baseball team, Las Aguilas de Vera Cruz, in the finals. Satchel Paige would go on to finish his historic pitching career in the Major Leagues with the Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Browns. Paige was the first Negro League ballplayer to be elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971. Glossy photo is 3.5x5" w/bold and sharp image. Various publication notations on reverse. Minor handling wear. A fantastic addition to any Negro League baseball memorabilia collection. Richard Merkin Collection.
