Don Kessinger Slides Into Second Base Near a Leaping Denny Doyle
Description
A color slide of Chicago Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger sliding into second base with Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Denny Doyle avoiding the slide. Kessinger is in his white home Cubs uniform, and Doyle is wearing the Phillies' blue road uniform. Wrigley Field's ivy outfield wall is visible in the blurry background. Based on similar photographs in the collection, the picture may have been taken October 4th, 1972, between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs, that year's final series for both teams.
