Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige was born on July 7, 1906, in Mobile, Alabama. Though many speculate it may have been more like 1903.
According to Paige, his mother sent him to earn money carrying luggage for businessmen at the train station, but he was frustrated with the little money it paid. So he rigged a pole to carry several bags at once to make the job pay better, and his co-workers purportedly told him, "You look like a walking satchel tree." And his nickname stuck.
At the age of 42 in 1948, Paige was the oldest major league rookie while playing for the Cleveland Indians. He played with the St. Louis Browns until age 47, and represented them in the All-Star Game in 1952 and 1953. He was the first player who had played in the Negro Leagues to pitch in the World Series, in 1948, and was the first electee of the Negro League Committee to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971.

i think carpenter and hayward should have some kind of ghost hunting youtube channel but for unlicensed gods. they go around snarking at each other and arguing over what kind of god this is and how best to deal with it. hayward ALWAYS thinks its an old harvest god and they have NEVER once made a situation better

spent some time concepting a future/post-RD Intern... (❁´◡`❁) featuring @emphasis-on-the-oopsie's penny!
ian manages to slowly upgrade the intern's systems over the years, and eventually they get to taste things and speak. they still prefer non-verbal communication, so they tend to only use the speakers as necessary for work. they've taken both ada and ian's last names, though their first name is still "intern", since they didn't want to go by anything else yet. i feel that they'd want to pick something unique, and while post-RD i feel they would've become a fully fledged doctor, they can't really let go of the name they had been created with. it was the first thing ada and ian called them, after all

@ Azzi can you please post an island photo dump too 🙏🙏 we can turn our brains off and pretend that it’s all pure coincidence and that you’re on or went to separate islands on separate cruises (like what photo with you on the background? I didn’t see that 🙂↔️) if we have to , just please let us see you 😭
Azzi girls and the struggle of being in love with a woman that's basically a model but never lets us see it because she's allergic to social media (does not remember her social media password).
But fr pookie princess please, we'll all be like "on and island?? we had NO IDEA,", we'll pull a denier and be like "oh that's a WHOLE OTHER ISLAND she'd never go with that person she's not even friends with them ofc ofc" just give us one post pretty please. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
