Satchel Paige, Hilton Smith, Lefty Bryant, Chet "Dooflackem" Brewer. It's hard to find season-by-season stats, but between 1937 and 1943, the Kansas City Monarchs won six pennants and boasted perhaps the greatest 1-2 pitching combo in pro baseball history, with Hall of Famers Satchel Paige and Hilton Smith. "The old-timers would all say that if you were going to hit anything, you better hit it off Satchel Paige, because you weren't going to touch Hilton Smith." Bob Kendrick. Hilton Smith compiled marks of 25-2, 21-3, 25-1 and 22-5 between 1939 and 1942, and many of his contemporaries considered Smith to be as good as, or better than, Satchel Paige. Chet Brewer, part of the Monarchs' rotation during some of this period, is also considered one of the best pitchers in Negro League history.
