| Baseball Short Story Whitey Herzog on Satchel Paige: The [AAA Miami] Marlins once had a distance-throwing contest before a night game. [Don] Landrum and I had the best arms of any of the outfielders. We were out by the center-field fence, throwing two-hoppers to the plate. Ol' Satch came out, didn't even warm up, and kind of flipped the ball sidearm. It went 400 feet on a dead line and hit the plate. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it. We were on the road in Rochester one night, screwing around in the outfield. They had a hole in the outfield fence just barely big enough for a baseball to go through, and the deal was that any player who hit a ball through there on the fly would win $10,000. I started trying to throw the ball through the hole, just to see if I could. I bet I tried 150 or 200 times, but I couldn't do it, so I went back to the dugout. When Satch got to the park, I said, "Satch, I bet you a fifth of Old Forester that you can't throw it through there." "Wild Child," he said. "I'll see you tomorrow night." So the next night Satch showed up for batting practice—first time in his life he'd ever been that early. I took a few baseballs, went out to the outfield, and stepped off about 60 feet 6 inches, the distance from the mound to home. Satch ambled out, took the ball, brought it up to his eye like he was aiming it, and let fire. I couldn't believe it. The ball hit the hole, rattled around, and dropped back out. He'd come that close, but I figured it was his best shot. Satch took another ball and drilled the hole dead center. The ball went right through, and I haven't seen it since. "Thank you, Wild Child," Satch said, and then went back into the clubhouse. White Rat: A Life in Baseball, Whitey Herzog and Kevin Horrigan (1987) |
