		His Negro league statistics are good (123 wins against 79 losses, with 26 shutouts), but he was probably better known for his performances against barnstorming major leaguers who spread the word that Paige was a very special pitcher.
		His fame took away attention from other fine Negro league pitchers, such as Bill Foster, Chet Brewer, Ray Brown, Bullet Joe Rogan, William Bell and Andy Cooper.
		I'm also intrigued by Stuart "Slim" Jones, who in 1934 had a remarkable 22-3 record for the Philadelphia Stars, reportedly adding 12 more wins in non-league games.
