Cubs historical sleuthing: Play at the plate edition

Getty Images doesn’t give us much to go on here:

Phila. Phillies Darren Daulton in action vs Chicago Cubs Steve Buechele.

Checks out. That’s Daulton and Buechele in a play at the plate at Wrigley Field.

Buechele played for the Cubs from 1993 through early July 1995, when he was released. He had put up a 3.4 bWAR season for the Cubs in ‘93, played somewhat less well in ‘94 and was hitting .189/.265/.236 in 32 games in ‘95 when he was let go. His original team, the Rangers, picked him up but he played in just nine games for them before he was released again, his career ending.
