Cubs historical sleuthing: Foul ball edition

The original caption for this photo reads:

Stan Hack, Cubs’ third baseman, couldn’t quite reach Pirates’ pinch-hitter Bill Salkeld’s foul into the box seats in the 9th inning of Chicago-Pittsburgh doubleheader opener at Wrigley Field. Hack has plenty of helpers as he leans over the infield tarpulin and box seat rail, but it did him no good. Cubs swept twin bill, 4-3 and 2-1.

Well, that’s pretty specific, although there’s no year nor date.

Stan Hack, of course, played 16 years for the Cubs and in four World Series for them and also managed the team.
