Comprehension Skill:
Sequence
Sequence is the order that events happen in a
selection. When you read, think about what
comes first, next, and last.
•
Several events can occur at the same time.
Words such as meanwhile and during give
clues that two events are happening at the
same time.
•
You can remember sequence by making a
time line.
First Event
Second Event
Third Event
Fourth Event
Comprehension Strategy
Ask Questions
Good readers ask themselves good
questions about important information, such as
the sequence of events. Asking questions
before you read helps you connect what you
will read to what you already know. Asking
questions as you read helps you understand
what you are reading. Asking questions after
you read helps you remember important
information.
A Special League
1. Look at the title and scan the article.
Ask, “What is this article about? What
do I already know about it?”
2. The sequence clue “In 1882” is a good
place to start a time line.
3. In the last paragraph, what clue word
tells you that two events happened at
the same time?

Satchel Paige
pitched for the Cleveland Indians.
Timeline
In 1916 at the age of 10, Satchel's first baseball team was called the
W.H. Council School baseball team. Two years later, Satchel was
kicked off the team because he got caught stealing from a local store.
He was sentenced to five and a half years at the Industrial School for
Negro Children at Mt. Meigs, Alabama. He was released in the
December of 1923.
In 1924, Paige pitched in his first semi-professional game for the
Mobile Tigers. In 1926, he also pitched for Mobile's Down the Bay
Boys, the Chattanooga Black Lookouts, and then the New Orleans
Pelicans. That was one busy year. In 1927, he joined the Birmingham
Black Barons.
In 1934 while with the Pittsburgh Crawfords which he joined in
1931, Satchel had his finest career in the Negro Leagues. He
claimed that he had won 104 games out of 105. Whether he did or
did not do this, he did beat Dizzy Dean in six to four in a
postseason barnstorming competition. In 1935, Paige joined the
Bismarck Baseball Club. During this time, they started him in 29
games in one month.
Satchel became a nationally known player after being shown in
the 1940's Time and the Saturday Evening Post. He finally
reached his life's goal to be picked up by the big leagues in 1948
by the Cleveland Indians on July 9th. He also became the first
Black pitcher in the World Series.
In 1951, Paige joined the St. Louis Browns and in 1952, he was
nominated to play on the American League All-star team. Satchel
again switched teams in 1956 and joined the Miami Marlins.
Satchel's autobiography entitled, Maybe I'll Pitch Forever, was
published in 1962. While with the Kansas City Athletics Satchel
made his final major league appearance on September 25, 1965.
In 1968, Satchel was hired by the Atlanta Braves to be a playercoach. In 1969, he officially retired from professional baseball.
Satchel Paige finally received the greatest
reward in baseball by being admitted to the
Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971.
