What is the source of this movement to redirect "Satchel" to "Satchel Paige"? -- SS 17:54, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)
:No clue. There is a band by the name of Satchel I am going to do an article on. Should I take the main Satchel page back or should I make it a disambig and link to Satchel (band)? JubalHarshaw 20:43, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Taking the initiative ... removing re-direct, turning Satchel into a disambig ... creating Satchel (band) for the rock band Satchel. JubalHarshaw 20:47, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Satchel Paige
Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige (July 7, 1906 - June 8, 1982) was an American right-handed pitcher in the Negro Leagues and Major League Baseball who is considered to be among the greatest pitchers of all time.
Pre-professional career
Paige was born on July 7, 1906 (or there about), the seventh child of twelve (including a set of twins) to John Page, a gardener, and Lula Coleman Page, a domestic worker, in the Mobile, Alabama slum known as South Bay. When asked about the year Satchel was born, his mother said, "I can't rightly recall whether Leroy was first born or my fifteenth." On a separate occasion, Lula Paige confided to a sportswriter that her son was actually three years older than he thought he was. A few years later she has another epiphany – he was, she said, two years older. She knew this because she wrote it down in her Bible.
When Paige wrote his memoirs in 1962, he wasn't convinced about that version. He wrote, "Seems like Mom's Bible would know, but she ain't never shown me the Bible. Anyway, she was in her nineties when she told the reporter that and sometimes she tended to forget things."
Any apparent ambiguity about Paige's age was furthered, thanks to the efforts of Bill Veeck, Paige's frequent employer in his later years. Ever the consummate showman, Veeck liked to promote the notion of Paige being "ageless".
Satchel, his siblings and his mother changed the spelling of their name from Page to Paige sometime in the late 1920s or early 1930s. It is said they did this because they wanted to distance themselves from anything having to do with John Page.
Paige got his nickname Satchel from a friend and next door neighbor, Wilber Hines, when they used to go down to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad station and carry bags for the passengers for money. Hines gave him the name the day Paige got caught trying to steal one of the bags that he was carrying.
On July 24, 1918, at age 12, Paige was sent to the Industrial School
Magic Satchel
The magic satchel is a term used often used in reference to computer role-playing games. It refers to the characters' ability to collect more items than a human could normally carry and store them all, seemingly within thin air. It was jokingly suggested that these characters were carrying around some kind of invisible mystical bag where they could keep everything without fear of encumbrance and could pull out any item at will. Others attribute this ability to Hammerspace.
Typically, a magic satchel can cary any number of different items (even vehicles in some extreme cases), but only up to 99 of a single kind of item. For example, a satchel may have 99 Healing Potions and 99 Antidotes, but may not carry 198 Potions, or even 100 Potions.
In the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' tabletop role-playing game, a magic satchel actually exists as a physical object, and is called a bag of holding. If the rules for encumbrance are used, such objects are actually necessary to get around the restrictions about what one can and can't carry.
In the popular, long-running ITV children's game show ''Knightmare'', the role player wore an iconic satchel (or 'knapsack') in the computer-style dungeon. However, in this case the bag could only accept food to increase the player's Life Force, though this procedure changed in the programme's final series.
However, the concept of a magic satchel was first alluded to (although perhaps not conforming to this exact context) many years before its computer-related use, for instance in the Disney film ''Mary Poppins'', where the title character has a bag from which she can seemingly produce a large number of objects, or indeed ones that significantly outsize its dimensions: for example, in one scene, Mary Poppins can be seen pulling a large lamp, complete with a shoulder-length stand, from inside her bag.

Satchel Pooch
Satchel Pooch is a fictional character in Darby Conley's comic strip ''Get Fuzzy''. He is an anthropomorphic dog, a Shar Pei/Yellow Lab cross.
Satchel lives in an apartment with the hostile Siamese cat Bucky Katt and their owner, Rob Wilco. He was named after famous baseball pitcher Satchel Paige.
Satchel is kind, gentle, and sympathetic. These traits, coupled with his naïvete and gullibility, make him a natural target for the scheming Bucky. Although he often seems oblivious to his own exploitation, Satchel does express a resigned frustration from time to time towards Bucky and his hostilities. He seems to have forgotten that ''dogs'' are traditionally the natural aggressor in the dog-cat relationship, and in fact, intimidation appears to be completely alien to the affable, easygoing dog. He has only threatened Bucky with violence once, and that was due to Bucky's bad-mouthing of Satchel's friends rather than anything aimed at Satchel directly.
Satchel's personality serves as a direct foil to that of Bucky's: easy to please, optimistic to the extreme, and perfectly content to peacefully coexist with everyone. He is good friends with Bucky's nemesis, Fungo Squiggly.
True to character, Satchel takes a neutral position in the ongoing sports feud between professed Yankee fan Bucky and rabid Red Sox fan Rob. (Satchel says he likes the Cubs.) He is also a Harry Potter enthusiast, proudly displaying a Hufflepuff poster in his room, and, rather naturally, a supporter of animal rights.
Despite being unable to tell time, Satchel wears a wristwatch on his left front paw, which he has named 'Handy'.
Pooch, Satchel
