Cubs historical sleuthing: Rick Reuschel edition

The information included with this Getty Images photo is... not really grammatically correct:

1970s Strike Batter Missing The Pitched Ball Philadelphia Phillies And Chicago Cubs Baseball Game Veterans Stadium Philadelphia Pa USA

Well, I suppose it could have been fixed with a little punctuation:

1970s. Strike. Batter Missing The Pitched Ball. Philadelphia Phillies And Chicago Cubs Baseball Game, Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia Pa, USA

Nah, that’s still not very good.

Anyway, that’s obviously Veterans Stadium, and even more obviously, that’s Rick Reuschel batting for the Cubs. You can see the Cubs 1876-1976 centennial patch on his sleeve, so we’re looking at a game from 1976.
