The world's greatest baseball player--Satchel Paige
July 6, 2010, 7:18 p.m.
For those of you who love the sport of baseball, possibly the worldâs greatest pitcher was born 104 years ago today, on July 7th 1906 in Mobile, Alabama. His name was Leroy Robert "Satchel" Paige, According to the library of congress, Paige earned his nickname, Satchel, as a young boy carrying bags at railroad stations for passengers. After being convicted of petty theft, he was placed in a black reform school where he began refining his baseball skills. Five years later, Paige began pitching professionally for several teams in the Negro Southern Association, the Negro American League, and the Negro National League. Paige's pitching prowess drew huge crowds. A natural showman, Paige enjoyed driving from game to game in his Cadillac convertible. He also owned a bus and several airplanes with Satchel Paige's All-Stars written on the side. Barred from the major leagues because he was black, Paige showcased his skills by barnstorming across the country, pitching for any team willing to meet his price, and proving his mettle in organized exhibition games against the best players of the day.

This is the full 7-5-10 episode of the Labor Express Radio program.
On todayâs program we take a look at an issue that I am embarrassed to say we have sorely neglected over the past few months. The explosion in April on the Deepwater Horizon Oil Exploration vessel in the Gulf of Mexico and the subsequent on-going oil spill is the most extreme environmental catastrophe involving the oil industry in our nationâs history. By all accounts, the spill, which is still not under control, will devastate ecosystems in the Gulf for generations to come. The ecology of the gulf region could be irreversible altered by this catastrophe born from corporate greed and our dependency on fossil fuels. And in all ecological disasters there is a human cost â in this case, the possible destruction of the livelihoods of those who live off the bounty of the gulf coast waters. But of course there is another aspect to this story that has perhaps not received as much attention â the loss of 11 lives from the initial explosion. Shortcuts and poor safety decisions made by BP and its business partners on the Deepwater Horizon cost the lives of 11 workers â a story eerily similar to one we have covered here on Labor Express, the loss of 29 at the Massey Energy Mine in Upper Big Branch in West Virginia. There too a history and pattern of disregard for safety regulations cost workers their lives. But there is another similarity between the Deepwater Horizon and Massey. Both were non-union facilities. And it is an established fact that no union equals less safety in the workplace. On todayâs program will hear from Dean Corgey, Vice President of the Gulf Coast Region of the Seafarers International Union. He will argue that the anti-union attitude of the companies involved in oil and gas exploration in the Gulf is a major factor in the recent disaster.
Will also here excerpts from a Labor Beat live to web T.V. program which aired on Friday June 25th which took a look at the state of immigrant rights in the wake of the anti-immigrant laws recently passed in Arizona.

If 50,000 "Muse" fans (e.g.) left a stadium chanting "They will not degrade us..." and shared rare valuable info, could they take back a whole city in one night?
