SATCH IN THE CITY OF ANGELS: Here’s a wonderful collection of four photos of Satchel Paige, taken by a Los Angeles Times photographer on November 12, 1933. The location is White Sox Park, on 38th Street and Compton Avenue in South Los Angeles. Satch was playing for the Royal Giants, a team made up of players largely from the Negro Leagues.

Babe Ruth at the Catholic Boys Home, Minneapolis, 1926.

Babe Ruth was in town the week of November 1, 1926.  He visited the Catholic Boy’s Home, worked out with the football Gophers, visted a friend in the hospital - as well as did some vaudeville at the Pantages. He also was getting over a very bad cold during all the activities.

The Catholic Boys Home is now the St. Joseph’s Home for Children.
