Satchel Paige Signed HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS "Magicians Of Basketball" Program PSA/DNA Pre-Certified
This program has been signed by Baseball Hall Of Famer Satchel Paige in blue ball point pen to "Gil". Cover has detached from program although signature is bold and beautiful. Great use for a cut signature. Paige once again returned to his barnstorming days with Abe Saperstein. They formed a baseball version of Saperstein's Harlem Globetrotters. Paige then joined the real Globetrotters when he joined one of their most popular "reams"-the "baseball routine".

Paige would "pitch" the basketball to Goose Tatum, who would "bat" the ball with his arms, run around the "bases" and slide "home" safely. Paige never actually played on the team, though. Although he was making a decent living, Paige grew tired of the constant travel. His family had grown with the birth of his fourth child and first son, Robert Leroy. PSA/DNA Pre-Certified.
