Cubs historical sleuthing: Bob Dernier edition

Getty Images supplied the following information with this photo:

Dave Concepcion #13 of the Cincinnati Reds braces himself at second base against a hard slide by Bob Dernier #20 of the Chicago Cubs during a game in 1984 at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois. Concepcion played for the Reds from 1970-1988.

All right, so now we know the year. The Reds, as was the case for NL West teams in that era, played six games at Wrigley Field in 1984. This is made easier by the fact that Dave Concepcion played third base in two of the games in May, and this is obviously (beyond what’s said in the caption) a play at second base.
