Accurate! That’s a rear view of Bobby Bonilla.

This game has to be from 1994, because you can see the MLB 125th anniversary patch on some of the player sleeves.

The Mets played just three games at Wrigley in 1994 due to the players’ strike. That was the opening three games of the season. This isn’t from Opening Day, because it was sunny that day and clearly, it’s cloudy and there’s a smaller crowd (see the empty seats behind the plate).
