The only change is that baseball has turned Paige from a second class citizen to a second class immortal.

Satchel Paige

When you write a song, most of the words you use are in black and white, and then, from time to time, you use one that’s in color. These words in color are a part of ourselves, because we give them a meaning. If you like, we give them a third dimension.

Claude Monet
