Two plausible inferences:

* Paige is likely enough to have announced his pitch to Gibson. He was a trash talker; O'Neil was likely relating SOME memorable event.

* If he did, he did it with the bags full and just a 2-0 lead!

7/7

SO. Here are the facts:

* This was the only time in the Series he struck out Gibson with the bases loaded.

* He didn't walk the bases loaded, intentionally or otherwise, on this occasion.

* The K didn't end the game.

#Retrosheet has ALSO created play-by-play descriptions of each of these games -- again, working from contemporary news reports.

Take a look at the bottom of the seventh inning:

Key phrase there = "according to legend." What we need to bear in mind is that both Satch and Buck O'Neil were gifted storytellers, and that storytelling was marketing during their playing days.

Yesterday I asked you who he was talking to when he said:

"I’m not gonna throw any smoke at your yoke; I’m gonna throw a pea at your knees."

Short answer: #JoshGibson. Long answer: read on.

#Baseball #Trivia question for the #fediverse at large -- not just the people tagged in this post.

"I’m not gonna throw any smoke at your yoke; I’m gonna throw a pea at your knees."

To whom was #SatchelPaige speaking when he famously said this?
