Cubs historical sleuthing: Incorrect date edition

Before I begin this one, I’m going to make a call again for anyone who has Wrigley or Cubs photos they’d like sleuthed to send them over. As you know, I enjoy doing these and they’re a good way to pass the offseason.

The headline is correct. This photo contains the following caption:

Marty Marion, shortstop for the St. Louis Cardinals, is tagged out in a high speed play at third base by Cubs third baseman Bill Serena, in a game at Wrigley Field in May of 1951.

With 100 percent certainty I can tell you that date is wrong.
