Biden Tells Pope Francis a Strange Story About Satchel Paige

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “We had a famous African-American baseball player in America, and he didn’t get to play in the Major League Baseball until he was 45 years old because he was black. And he was a pitcher, he threw the ball. And usually pitchers lose their arm when they’re 35. He pitched to win on his 47th birthday. The press walked into the locker room and said — his name was Satchel Paige — they came in excited and said, 'Satch, no one has ever pitched a win at age 47! How do you feel about pitching a win on your birthday?' And he looked at them and he said, 'Boys, that’s not how I look at age. I look at it this way. How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?' You’re 65, I’m 60. God love you. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
