  Satchel Paige's Corrected 1948 Stats
I have seen many accounts of "Satchell Page" in my readings of 1930's newspapers, so it comes as no surprise that somebody would make that mistake.
I would like to thank both Pete Palmer (of Total Baseball) and Lyle Spatz (Society for American Baseball Research - Baseball Records Committee) for going the extra yard after I had brought this to their attention.
Pete checked the official game reports from Cooperstown and discovered that in these reports both Paige and Page had been given credit for two strikeouts and three walks.
