Darold Satchell 1970

This photo of Darold Satchell comes from the Louisville Courier-Journal of April 22, 1970. In this scene, he is an International League umpire caught in a dispute with Rochester coach Chico Fernandez. Soon thereafter, Fernandez' manager, Cal Ripken Sr. would step in and take over the argument with Satchell.

A photo of Satchell was previously posted on this thread by tnfoto, but it showed him as a player in a minor league uniform. That photo was on the following webpage:

I'm grateful for that photo, because it turns out that Satchell was a non-roster invitee with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1957, and I was seeking a photo of him as a player. The St. Louis Dispatch of February 25, 1957 mentions that Darold was one of the promising young Cardinal pitchers who had been in a competitive game with Phillie rookies a couple of days earlier.
