| 2004 National Baseball Hall of Fame Postcard (butchered by my stupid scanner - Grrr!). |
A great quote from the National Baseball Hall of Fame website regarding James "Cool Papa" Bell: “One time he hit a line drive right past my ear. I turned around and saw the ball hit him sliding into second.” -Satchel Paige. Paige also said that Cool Papa was so fast he could flip the light switch and be in bed before the room got dark. I love these things about baseball.
Bell played in the Negro Leagues from 1922-46, and was elected to the National Baseball HOF in 1974. He is regarded as one of the best switch-hitters in history.
