ADDISON JONES (CA. 1845-1926)
Leroy Robert Paige, one of the few African American baseball athletes to play in both the Negro Baseball Leagues and in Major League Baseball. He was also the first player to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame because of his career in the Negro Leagues.
Paige was born in Mobile, Alabama, on July 7, 1906, to John Paige, a gardener, and Lulu Coleman Paige, a domestic worker. He had eleven siblings. Paige earned money and a nickname as a boy by carrying suitcases or satchels at the Mobile Train Station. An indifferent student in school, young Paige was arrested two weeks before his thirteenth birthday for shoplifting. Because this was the latest in a series of truancy infractions, Page was sent to the Industrial School for Negro Children in Mount Meigs, Alabama. It was during his time in the Industrial School that Paige perfected his pitching skills.
