01:21 Hey, Satchel. Huh?
01:23 What you reckon you gonna do about this boy here?
01:26 What are you doing?
01:31 I'm playing my position, Mr. Paige.
01:33 Boy, you don't even know your position. Let me help you out.
01:36 Your position on this team is right over there.
01:39 You're not pitching. You're putting on a bullshit show.
01:41 Hold up there, Junior. It's my game.
01:44 It's my game and my show.
01:46 And you best learn how you supposed to act in my show.
01:50 I signed on this organization to play baseball. This is not baseball.
01:53 You got clowns out there doing some kind of song and dance.
01:56 Hey, don't you tell me what's baseball.
01:58 Don't expect me to play my position.
02:00 That clown out there is paying your wages.
02:02 You think all these people came out here today to watch Jackie Robinson?
02:06 Boy, they're getting younger and stupider.
02:11 Let's go to work, Satch.
02:13 Hey, man, you hear about those brown dodgers?
02:16 Yeah, I done heard.
02:19 Meditate on this.
02:21 Me and you, we going together.
02:23 Stick 'em up for some deep green, baby.
02:26 What you say?
02:28 You look like you're slowing down there a little bit.
02:30 You look like you got a little thick flabby around the middle there.
02:33 Oh, that just them poke shots your wife been feeding.
02:37 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:39 While I was over at your mama's house.
02:41 Yeah, she told me about that.
02:43 She was your mama, yeah.
02:46 Come on, come on, wait on your piss, Josh.
02:57 Conjure this big man.
02:59 Me and you in a big old apartment on Park Avenue, penthouse apartment.
03:03 Yeah, you keep talking that good stuff, Satch.
03:06 Second thought, Fage and Gibson on the same team?
03:10 No, I don't think the opposite of me, man.
03:13 Yeah, well, I guess you best keep your old crusted black butt right here.
03:17 I'ma do it here.
03:19 Whew!
03:34 [laughing]
03:40 Tell the home I'ma be around there in the morning for some of them biscuits.
03:44 What are you doing?
03:46 Get your ass out there and get the ball.
03:48 You heard the man?
03:50 Get out there and get it.
03:52 Ain't nobody playing?
03:53 Ain't nobody playing?
03:54 I ain't gonna play.

03:58 Number 42 shortstop, Zakir Robinson.
04:02 Here comes the rookie.
04:04 He's one for four in the afternoon.
04:06 He bunted his way on the last time up,
04:09 and the crowd's still on him for defying the legendary Satchel Fage.
04:13 Here's the pitch inside.
04:15 Ball one.
04:16 Sims moves him off the plate.
04:18 Sims winds and delivers.
04:26 There's a line drive.
04:27 Face hits a right field.
04:29 Robinson making the turn, and he's gonna go for two.
04:32 Uh-oh, here's the throw, and he's in there.
04:35 How do you like that?
04:36 I'll tell you.
04:37 Got everyone by surprise.
04:39 He was flying,
04:40 and that's gonna bring up the second baseman, Jesse Williams.
04:43 Williams is 0 for 3 today,
04:44 continuing to struggle since Robinson replaced him at shortstop.
04:48 And here's the pitch, and he goes.
04:52 Gibson comes up throwing, but the kid's already there.
04:55 And the ball gets away from Davidson.
04:57 [announcer]
04:58 Take the lead.
04:59 Zakir Robinson with an unbelievable display of sheer speed.
05:04 Well, I got some wheels, ain't I?
