Cubs historical sleuthing: Mid 1980s edition

The photo above is another BCB reader’s first Cubs game, though unlike this photo I posted last week, reader Steve Sher doesn’t appear in it.

Instead, we see a frozen moment from Cubs history.

What do we know about this moment?

Fortunately, the photo includes a shot of the mini-scoreboard on the facade of the left-field upper deck. The Cubs are leading the Phillies 4-2 and are batting in the bottom of the fourth inning, with two out and No. 34 at bat.

Given the uniforms the team is wearing, this can be only one player at the plate — Steve Trout.
