Satchel Paige and the film academy
From Dayn Perry at CBS Sports.com comes this piece of found footage of baseball legend Satchel Paige, a success story of Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Science's "Most Wanted" program.
Paige is pitching at old Wrigley Field in Los Angeles in 1948.


A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
