Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder, tries to break up a double play, while Cubs shortstop Roy Smalley makes the force and throws to first in a 1950 contest at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
That’s pretty specific. It’s definitely Smalley, who was the Cubs’ regular shortstop from 1948-50 and part-time the next three years, until Ernie Banks came on the scene. It’s also definitely Kiner, the uniform style matches the year. It has to be Wrigley, as Kiner’s wearing a Pirates road uniform, although that’s a real funky angle that I don’t think I’ve seen before.
