Denny Doyle Above a Sliding Cub at Second Base at Wrigley Field
Description
A color slide of second baseman Denny Doyle with his hands raised at second base. An unknown Chicago Cubs player in his white home uniform has just slid into second base. The Philadelphia Phillies' shortstop Larry Bowa is in the background, with his back to the camera, having backed up the play. Both Phillies are wearing their road blue uniforms. Wrigley Field's ivy outfield wall is visible in the blurry background. Based on similar slides in the collection, this was likely taken either October 2nd or 4th, 1972, between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs, that year's final series for both teams. Bowa did not play on October 3rd.
