Bismarck man looks to commemorate baseball player Satchel Paige with bronze statue
Satchel Paige’s time in Bismarck was more than baseball—it was history in motion. In the 1930s, he led an integrated team to a national championship, breaking barriers long before the major leagues followed suit. Now, Michael Schwartz is leading an effort to honor that legacy with a bronze statue at Bismarck Municipal Ballpark. What started as his father’s idea has become his mission, a way to preserve a story of resilience, teamwork, and change. With $10,000 raised and a $100,000 goal, the effort is just getting started.
This is a great story by KX News out of Bismarck about honoring a little-known part of North Dakota’s past.
