Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: Barry Larkin edition

Getty says:

Barry Larkin #15 of the Cincinnati Reds leads off second base against the Chicago Cubs during a game in the 1987 season at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois.

Specific enough, I suppose, but not specific enough for me — I gotta know the date and play!

The Reds played two series at Wrigley in 1987 — one in mid-May, the other in early September. The ivy is quite full on the outfield wall so I’d say this has to be September. While there’s usually ivy on the wall by mid-May, it’s not that full.
