Satchel Paige Photo ID Help?

Just picked up this photo in a lot. If I'm not mistaken the gentleman in the middle is Paige. Anyone know who the other two are? Family members? Players? Fans?

Definitely an older Paige, but I don't know who the other two gents are. Sorry!

Is there a reason that you think its Paige -- to me it doesn't look like him and I am not sure that the timing makes sense-- for Paige to be that age it would have to be the late 60's or early 70's and the clothes don;t seem to be of that
period

Here is a picture of Satchel Paige at his induction into the HOF in Cooperstown in 1971. This sure looks like the same guy to me...
These photos may have been taken at the same event/ induction week FWIW

Ted Page is on the left.

Thanks Scott for confirming Paige. And Mike, great detective work! You even found the same picture!

Much appreciated guys.

If we make an assumption that the picture is circa early 1970s when Paige the guy on the right is much too young to have been a player or at least a contemporary of the other two.

Perhaps a member of Satch or Ted's family? Or maybe he is with the person taking the picture.

I think the guy on the right looks related to Ol' Satch, IMHO...
