Cubs historical sleuthing: Shawon Dunston edition

Getty Images says:

Shortstop Shawon Dunston of the Chicago Cubs throws to first base to complete a double play as Joe Orsulak #11 of the Pittsburgh Pirates slides into second base during a Major League Baseball game at Three Rivers Stadium circa 1985 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Well, that’s definitely Dunston, and it’s also clearly Orsulak. It appears to be showing Dunston making a double play relay to first base after Orsulak is out at second.

The only years this could have happened are 1985 and 1986, the only two years both players were with the teams indicated (Orsulak played several years in Baltimore after 1986).
