Very Early Satchel Paige Photo
 
Hello all,

I've been researching and trying to date a Satchel Paige type 1 photo. There isn't a better day to finally record and get it uploaded, it being 117 years since his birth and another 75 since he signed with Cleveland. Please take it easy on me as I believe I may have gotten a few years/teams wrong and it's been awhile since I recorded anything.

Please let me know what y'all think. I do believe I narrowed it down and it's very cool in my opinion!

I'll also attach a photo below. Thanks for your time!

Shooting from the hip, but I would possibly date that photo as being circa early 1940's.

I've studied and catalogued Negro League uniforms for the past 30 years and while it is never an exact science, in this case I think you've nailed it. Nice job!

That's the biggest compliment I could receive, thank you!
