Don't Look Back: The Late Career Accomplishments Of Satchel Paige

2008 was a good year for older athletes. Kurt Warner shocked the NFL by nearly leading the Cardinals to the Superbowl at age thirty-eight.

Carlos Delgado, at thirty six, managed to out-homer his age by two. At the age of forty-five Jamie Moyer went 16-7 with a 3.71 ERA to help the Phillies win a tight NL East race and go on to win the World Series.

All these accomplishments pale in comparison to the legacy of Satchel Paige.
