Cubs historical sleuthing: Jody Davis edition

Getty Images supplied this information about the photo of 1980s Cubs catcher Jody Davis you see above:

Jody Davis #7 of the Chicago Cubs takes a throw at home plate in Wrigley Field in August 1981 in Chicago, Illinois.

That seems pretty detailed, but there’s a problem with “August 1981.” At first it appears you’re just looking at Davis in this photo, but look at the right side of the image, where you see part of an opposing player’s leg.

In 1981, there was just one team with that look — the Atlanta Braves.
