Cubs historical sleuthing: A random event at Dodger Stadium

Getty Images says:

Mark Grace #17 of the Chicago Cubs catches the throw against the Los Angeles Dodgers during a May 1989 game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

That gives two details — it’s at Dodger Stadium and it’s in May 1989.

Those are enough to tell us when this happened.

The baserunner is Jeff Hamilton, who played for the Dodgers from 1986-91. Presuming the “May 1989” is correct, Hamilton played in two games of a three-game series between the Cubs and Dodgers in Los Angeles that month.

One of them was a night game, so that one’s out.
