Cubs historical sleuthing: Glenn Beckert edition

NY Mets vs Chicago Cubs. Glenn Beckert touches home plate with left hand ahead of Met Johnny Stephenson’s tag in ninth inning at Shea.

It would have been obvious this was Shea Stadium anyway, as Beckert’s clearly wearing a Cubs road uniform.

Johnny Stephenson played three years for the Mets, 1964-66 — but wore No. 19 only in 1965, so we have to look only at that season.

Stephenson started four games against the Cubs at Shea in 1965 — July 7, August 6, and a doubleheader August 8.
