Paige, born July 7, 1906, in Mobile, Alabama, estimated he threw 55 no-hitters over his long, storied career that included stints with numerous teams. When Paige wasn’t pitching in league games, he was barnstorming across the country competing against anyone who would take the ball field against his All-Stars.
But just two of Paige’s no-nos against professional-level teams are documented in
the most well-researched list, put together by the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Negro League Committee and Noir Tech Research:
| 1 | Satchel Paige |
|---|---|
| Pittsburgh Crawfords | |
| Friday, July 8, 1932 (second game of doubleheader) Pittsburgh Crawfords 6, New York Black Yankees 0 |
|
| 2 | Satchel Paige |
| Pittsburgh Crawfords | |
| Wednesday, July 4, 1934 Pittsburgh Crawfords 4, Homestead Grays 0 (Paige struck out 17 batters) |
Paige was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971 as the first player voted in by the Committee on Negro Baseball Leagues.
