59-Year-Old Satchel Paige Pitches Scoreless Innings

Satchel Paige pitched three scoreless innings for Kansas City on September 25, 1965. He was 59 years old at the time. This made him the oldest man ever to play in a major league game.

It is absurd for someone so old to perform at such a high level.
