Guardians Pitcher Triston McKenzie joins Bob Kendrick to talk about Satchel Paige's historic "rookie" season in Cleveland, the legacy of Satchel among Black pitchers, his own career, and his place as a role model.

 

Plus, Bob tackles the century-old debate... just how old was Satchel Paige? As Buck O'Neil would say, "Older than that."
