Lately, I’ve posted a lot of Ryne Sandberg and Shawon Dunston sleuthing photos from the 1980s here.
Here, you see the two men in a much more recent photo at Wrigley Field, obviously long after their playing days ended.
I carefully cropped this photo so that I didn’t give away the most important clue. Here’s the entire photo:

Obviously, the scoreboard is the method we’re going to use to identify the date this photo was taken. Just at the left of the photo you can see the left-field video board, so that dates this to the summer of 2015 or later.
